Description:The most eagerly awaited set of reproductions in art-book history: more than one hundred masterpieces of modern French painting from one of the world's fabled repositories of great art - the Barnes Foundation in Merion, Pennsylvania - are here published in full color for the first time. These paintings are the crown jewels of the extraordinary collection assembled in the early twentieth century by Dr. Albert C. Barnes, the bold and original collector who established the Foundation in 1922 as a school for the study of art and philosophy. Now, after six decades of limited access to visitors and a ban on color reproduction, the Barnes Foundation welcomes a wider audience through the publication of this magnificent volume.

Here are major landmarks of modern art that many know of but few have seen, including twenty-four Renoirs encompassing the entire span of his career...thirty monumental Cezannes, including bather groups, landscapes, still lifes, and portraits...Matisse's pivotal Bonheur de vivre, Three Sisters Triptych, and world-famous Dance mural (and eighteen other paintings and oil studies)...the finest of van Gogh's six paintings of Joseph-Etienne Roulin...Seurat's celebrated Models...the Douanier Rousseau's strange, unsettling Unpleasant Surprise...the tender portrait of young M. Loulou by Gauguin...a spectacular cluster of seven early Picassos. And this is only a sampling of the exhilarating visual banquet offered in these pages.
