Barnes the Art Collector

Very recommendable! Albert C. Barnes, an American eccentric who built one of the largest private art collections of modern art ever! He collected the work of dozens of artists while they were still little known. His way of combining or juxtaposing works of arts was thought provoking. He also featured African sculptures and other works of art like no one before. His endeavors to teach art to the public and his workers were ahead of his time. As someone who lived in Philadelphia, PA before, this man is fascinating!
