The Barnes Foundation: Masterworks
Texts by Judith F. Dolkart and Martha Lucy.

Featuring over 150 beautifully reproduced images of some the most beloved works in the collection, including several rarely-published Picassos and Matisses, alongside full-page spreads of 21 of the Foundation's distinctive wall ensembles, Masterworks is the definitive catalogue that Barnes fans have been waiting for. This is more than a collection of pretty pictures, though. An introductory essay traces Barnes's collecting and the development of his education and display philosophies, and individual items from the wide-ranging collection are accompanied by informative entries that shed new light on the Foundation's celebrated works.
