Abstract
I first want to congratulate Jeremy Braddock for his tenacious attempt to get at a story that has lured many a writer. The Barnes Foundation and its founder, Dr. Albert C. Barnes, have eluded truth telling, in most part because of the practices of the Foundation's leadership after his death. Those practices, which created a cloistered, elitist, Eurocentric environment, were antithetical to what Barnes intended. From the eccentricities of Violette de Mazia to the intense legal harangues of the early 1990s, the story of the Barnes became even more convoluted and was seen as predictably hostile to journalists, scholars, and the art-historical community.
