Will Barnet and Gerson Leiber have known one another since shortly after World War II, when Leiber enrolled under the G.I. Bill at the Art Students League. There he was taught by Will Barnet. They soon discovered that they shared similar aesthetic ideals and began a friendship that endures into the present. Mr. Barnet recently celebrated his 98th birthday, and Mr. Leiber his 87th; yet, each of them still possesses a clear-eyed aesthetic that has resulted in a prolific outpouring of critically acclaimed work. This exhibition features abstract prints by Will Barnet and brightly colorful watercolors of locally inspired architectural scenes by Gerson Leiber.
