Philadelphia Inquirer - 1967

VIETNAM DRAWINGS: The purpose of Isa Barnett’s show at Johnny Aiello’s “Gallery Pane Vino”, 20th St. at Pine is to present everything involved with “the total illustrator” in one environment – props the artist collects such as Civil War uniforms, weaponry and primitive art objects found at old battle sites, together with the originals of some of Barnett’s recent, widely circulated magazine illustrations on the Civil War in color, and some of his latest charcoal drawings made in Vietnam on a special assignment for the U.S. Marine Corps. No doubt about it, Isa Barnett is an accomplished historical illustrator, and the puzzling out of meaning plays no part in the appreciation of his work.
