520 2  "A physician who applied his knowledge of chemistry to the
       manufacture of a widely used antiseptic, Albert Barnes is 
       best remembered as one of the great American art 
       collectors. The Barnes Foundation, which houses his 
       treasures, is a fabled repository of Impressionist, post-
       Impressionist, and early modern paintings. Less well known
       is the fact that Barnes attributed his passion for 
       collecting art to his youthful experience of African-
       American culture, especially music. Art, Education, and 
       African-American Culture is both a biography of an 
       iconoclastic and innovative figure and a study of the 
       often-conflicted efforts of an emergent liberalism to seek
       out and showcase African American contributions to the 
       American aesthetic tradition.Mary Ann Meyers examines 
       Barnes's background and career and the development and 
       evolution of his enthusiasm for collecting pictures and 
       sculpture. She shows how Barnes's commitment to breaking 
       down invidious distinctions and his use of the uniquely 
       arranged works in his collection as textbooks for his 
       school, created a milieu where masterpieces of European 
       and American late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century 
       painting, along with rare and beautiful African art 
       objects, became a backdrop for endless feuding. A gallery 
       requiring renovation, a trust prohibiting the loan or sale
       of a single picture, and the efforts of Lincoln University,
       known as the "black Princeton," to balance conflicting 
       needs and obligations all conspired to create a legacy of 
       legal entanglement and disputes that remain in 
       contention.This volume is neither an idealized account of 
       a quixotic do-gooder nor is it a critique of a crank. 
       While fully documenting Barnes's notorious eccentricities 
       along with the clashing interests of the main 
       personalities associated with his Foundation, Meyers 
       eschews moral posturing in favor of a rich mosaic of 
       peoples and institutions that illustrate many of the 
       larger themes of American culture in general and African-
       American culture in particular."--Provided by publisher.
