Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia is known for its remarkable collection of modern paintings juxtaposed with works of art from around the globe. Established by Albert C. Barnes in 1922, the foundation's main purpose was to democratize access to art education during an era when museum-going was still considered an upper-class pastime. The Barnes Then and Now relates the institution's early history and explores how a century-old mission is carried forward--and adapted--in today's radically different landscape. This profusely illustrated volume highlights the key elements that made the Barnes unique among art institutions of its time: the progressive education program, unconventional installation of the collection, and commitment to social justice. Essays take the reader back to the 1920s and 1930s, situating Albert Barnes's groundbreaking contributions in the context of early twentieth-century American social and political history. The editor and contributors examine his unique approach to art education, formed in collaboration with John Dewey, Violette de Mazia, and others; his connections with leading Black intellectuals such as Alain Locke, Charles S. Johnson, and Horace Mann Bond; and his role in shaping the reception of African art in the United States. In a series of transcribed dialogues, scholars and cultural leaders explore what Barnes's innovations mean for us now. Distributed by Temple University Press for the Barnes Foundation

Download or read book Modern Art on Display written by K. Porter Aichele and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-05-19 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern Art on Display: The Legacies of Six Collectors is structured as a sequence of case studies that pair collectors of modern art with artists they particularly favored: Duncan Phillips and Augustus Vincent Tack; Albert Barnes and Chaim Soutine; Albert Eugene Gallatin and Juan Gris; Lillie Bliss and Paul Cézanne; Etta Cone and Henri Matisse; G. David Thompson and Paul Klee. The case studies are linked by a thematic focus on the integral relationship between the collectors’ acquired knowledge about the work they amassed and their innovative display models. This focus brings a new perspective to the history of collecting and interpreting modern art in America for nearly half a century (1915-1960). By examining the books the collectors themselves read and analyzing archival photographs of their displays, the author makes a case for the historical significance of how the collectors presented the art they acquired before their collections were institutionalized.
