"Regarded by some as an independent person or 'lone wolf' who ignored the trends and vagaries of the art scene to follow his own drummer, so to speak, Will was also a highly sociable, well-loved individual who was totally connected to, and engaged in, the contemporary world around him on his own terms. Will's art, teaching, and life proclaimed the life-affirming endurance of the human spirit and a profound, metaphysical feeling of being connected with the world in an orderly and meaningful, yet dynamic and vital fashion."

—Gail Stavitsky, "Will Barnet: Artist and Teacher"
