The Cochran Collection
Will Barnet & Bob Blackburn — An Artistic Friendship in Relief
In many respects, the friendship of Will Barnet and Bob Blackburn fits within the scheme of other friendships in the arts: ships on parallel journeys that occasionally intersect, slow down, dock in the same ports, and then they proceed on their separate courses. Their relationship is layered and complex, best embodied in terms of their parallel courses and artistic interaction. What Barnet and Blackburn share in their compositional predilections is a love of the two-dimensional space and its flatness as well as the frontal attack. The prints in the Cochran Collection accurately represent the evolution of the two artists' careers as printmakers.
