Understanding World Art (UWA) is a new initiative launching in 2012–2013. It is an opportunity to ask questions such as “What is suggested by displaying a 17th-century painting by El Greco among works by Renoir and Cézanne?” and “Why is a 16th-century bronze sculpture from the Edo peoples of Nigeria placed next to a 20th-century tapestry by Joan Miró?” The theme for this inaugural year is Art and Cross-Cultural Communication. With conversations led by scholars in a number of fields, UWA offers a guided tour of the diversity in the Barnes Foundation’s art collection and the ongoing dialogues within Albert Barnes’s unique ensemble arrangements.
