The Barnes Collection, assembled by the eccentric Albert C. Barnes in the early 20th century, is renowned for its exceptional holdings of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, and early Modern works, including masterpieces by Cézanne, Renoir, Matisse, and Picasso. This exhibition marked the first time the Barnes Collection traveled outside of its original home in Merion, Pennsylvania, and it was a cultural event of national significance.

This magazine issue offers a fascinating glimpse into the anticipation and enthusiasm surrounding this groundbreaking exhibition. With articles by art critics Jackie Koszczuk, Janet Tyson, and Larry Swindell, it provides valuable insights into the exhibition’s significance, the artworks on display, and the historical context of the Barnes Collection. For collectors and art enthusiasts, this issue serves as a tangible connection to an important moment in the history of art exhibitions in the United States, when the public had the rare opportunity to experience the treasures of the Barnes Collection outside of their usual home.
