THE MAVERICK'S MUSEUM: Albert Barnes and His American Dream

Fascinating biography of the collector whose pioneering gallery of modern art was meant to transform America's soul. His vast art collection of 180 Renoirs, 67 Cezannes, 59 Matisses, and 45 Picassos transformed the nation's aesthetic life, taking art out of the hands of the elite and making it available to the average American. Illustrated, some in color.
