||About The Barnes Foundation||
The mission of the Barnes is to promote the advancement of education and the appreciation of the fine arts and horticulture.
Our founder, Dr. Albert C. Barnes, believed that art had the power to improve minds and transform lives. Our diverse educational programs are based on his teachings and one-of-a-kind collections.
Philadelphia art collector Albert C. Barnes (1872-1951) chartered the Barnes Foundation in 1922 to teach people from all walks of life how to look at art. Over three decades, he collected some of the world’s most important impressionist, post-impressionist, and modern paintings, including works by Renoir, Cézanne, Matisse, and Picasso. He displayed them alongside African masks, native American jewelry, Greek antiquities, and decorative metalwork.

Amy's talks are always so rich in connecting history, mythology, philosophy, experience, biography, and more! She is one of my favorite Barnes commentators, always opening the art work to new understandings. Thank you!

Amy, I am always inspired by your enthusiasm, your broad range of knowledge, and your terrific insights as you introduce us to art pieces in the Barnes Foundation. You are amazing! Thanks

I listened twice Amy, full of interesting angles and images;-)

Thank you for a very thorough, informative presentation.

[@garybonas5366]

Amy, thank you for a nice presentation. Di Chirico certainly explores his ideas (such as the mysterious baths) extensively.

Does the de chirico picture have the zig zag of the parquet? I cant see it well. Also, did barnes collect other surrealists like magritte and Dali? Thanks for the info. Good stuff.
