Matador, 1968 (Original Work - Ink and Wash)

Matador, 1968

A matador with cape lowered gazes inward in this ink and wash study. Barrett's loose brushwork reduces the figure to essential form and gesture—capturing stillness rather than spectacle. Created during a period when his work moved away from Lebrun's dramatic intensity toward a more restrained observation of human presence.
