It is in the realm of portraiture that Barnett’s unique vision becomes clear. His portrait of Dominican artist Hampton Rodriguez is a revelation. The subject’s sad eyes and wild, side-lit hair capture the viewer’s immediate attention but yield to subtler, almost painterly details.

Mart, thank you a million times for all the work, writing, editing, checking, attending to details, getting images, herding, and everything else you've done for this exhibit. I love how it looks. I'm going through withdrawal, I haven't seen you all day.

When Frank Barnett first saw my collection of vintage toy trucks, he said, “this should be a book and a museum show!” Years later, chance brought us back together again and it was time to do the book. For six months, Frank and Mart and I worked together, and when the book was complete, it far exceeded any expectations I had. We had produced a beautiful and well-documented book that Frank photographed and Mart wrote.

As the executor of the estate of my artist mom JoAn Tolman, I was referred to Frank and Mart’s photography studio to begin reproducing her work for the many family members who wanted copies. Both oils and pastels were faithfully recreated and color-matched to the originals. One of the pastels had a deep crease from top to bottom that had begun to tear from being stored rolled up for a long time. You’d never know, from Frank’s reproduction, that the original had been so badly damaged. We’ve made several archival prints and are very pleased with the quality. The family would also like to make a book of my mom’s artwork and we plan to have Frank and Mart work on that with us.

Frank Barnett Photography has been printing with us for several years now, and I’m very impressed with their photo restoration work. It’s very rare, if ever, that I need to adjust their files.

I took in a picture made in 1913. I had no idea it would come out so beautifully. Family members are now asking for copies. I can’t wait to have more family photos restored.

Barnett’s emotionally charged images radiate with the observed and hidden, the animate and the inanimate, as they peer inside the soulful complexities of people who are hurting, people on the margins of society, people living, as one critic described, “out on the edge of things.”

It is not an understatement to say that during my six years at the Museum of New Mexico as the head of marketing and public relations, no outsider individual or firm was able to grasp so quickly the overall picture of our promotional and marketing needs.

The University of California Press has always been an aggressive publisher in the scholarly field and is known for effective promotion which, in turn attracts new authors to our list. This Frank did with notable success. I am unaware of any other publishing person on the West Coast who can match Frank’s dynamic skills.

Frank rendered a valuable service to Levi Strauss & Co. by putting together a package of services from a graphic designer, typesetter, translator, and printer for the purpose of redesigning and publishing the company’s monthly employee publication.

Frank was attentive to Museum restrictions; spoke with all four Museum directors and their curators as well as toured all the collections; met with Native American vendors across the state; introduced himself to Hispanic craftsmen and, generally, became well versed in the vast and beautiful cultural wealth of New Mexico. The product was a supremely beautiful catalogue.
Melissa Houston Engestrom
Director of Development
Museum of New Mexico Foundation
Frank’s photography is artistic and simple, yet detailed and intriguing. It tells a story with the image, light, angle and style of the subject. He can make anything visually interesting!
