Barnes was an American chemist businessman art collector writer educator and the founder of the Barnes Foundation. Barnes made a fortune as the developer of the antiseptic Argyrol and subsequently amassed an impressive collection of more than 2000 pieces of rare art. His extensive holdings include many European and American impressionist masterpieces and early modern art including works by Cezanne Matisse Van Gogh and Picasso. His collection of 181 Renoir paintings continues to be the largest number of the artist’s paintings gathered in one location.</p><p>Barnes started the Barnes Foundation in 1922 as an educational institution with strict limits to its use and very specific rules about its operations. Barnes was known for his ambition and his artistic sensibility as well as his eccentricity.</p><p>At the Foundation he insisted that the art be displayed in a unique way exhibiting the works by their formal and expressive similarities rather than using the traditional method of grouping items by the date they were created the place of origin the type of item or its medium.</p><p>In 1931 Dr. Barnes began work on ""The Art of Henri-Matisse"" whom he regarded as “the foremost painter of the day.†Barnes first met Matisse in 1930 when the artist asked to visit the Foundation during a trip to the United States. During his visit Dr. Barnes proposed that Matisse create a mural for the Main Gallery which later would become The Dance mural.</p><p>Henry Hart first met Dr. Barnes in the early 1920s while Hart was employed as a journalist for the Philadelphia Record. The two developed a close friendship and maintained a personal relationship until Dr. Barnes's unexpected death. Henry Hart transitioned from journalism and became an editor at Scribner where he published ""The Art of Henri-Matisse."" The book was released on January 13 1933.</p><p>In early January 1933 Hart sent Barnes an advanced copy of the book which he shared with Matisse. At the time Barnes was in Nice with Matisse. Both Matisse and Barnes replied to Hart.</p><p><strong>Autograph note</strong> of Matisse and Barnes on the verso of a scenic Nice postcard addressed to Hart at his Scribner's Office in New York City:</p><p><em>""Nice January 1933. Thanks for the advance copy of our book. It's fine very attractive Matisse is delighted with its appearance especially the illustrations - but he will add his own comments herewith. A.C.B.""</em></p><p>Matisse adds <em>""I congratulate you on your book. I find it well composed and the prints are excellent. Sincerely H. Matisseâ€.</em></p><p>Dr. Barnes believed that art had the power to improve minds and transform lives. Over the course of his lifetime along with ""The Art of Henri-Matisse"" he wrote several books about his theories of art aesthetics.</p><p>Albert C Barnes <strong>books inscribed</strong> to his close friend Henry Hart who later published his only biography ""Dr. Barnes of Merion an Appreciation"":</p><p>""The Art of Henri Matisseâ€: <em>To Henry Hart who with kindness and patience delivered this baby in the Scribner Maternity.

1949146001949. Henri Matisse. Autograph Letter Signed. One-page handwritten letter written entirely in Matisse's hand and signed "H. Matisse" dated November 2 1949 in French. Written late in his career when he was internationally acknowledged as one of the greatest living artists of the twentieth century the letter offers an unusually candid statement of personal vulnerability. Matisse writes: "Dear Friend I am quite upset about having to write to you that I am too nervous to be able to pose. It is something that has always been painful for me. I have never been able to pose even for Marquet 50 years ago. Please believe dear friend in my regrets and in my best wishes." He signs and dates the letter "H. Matisse 2 nov 49." The language is direct and unguarded emphasizing not inconvenience but distress; "too nervous" "always been painful" and asserting that this reaction was not momentary but lifelong.<br /> <br /> The reference to Albert Marquet is central to the letter's historical and psychological significance. Matisse and Marquet were among the foremost figures of Fauvism having met as students at the École des Arts Décoratifs where they shared formative years living quarters and lasting artistic influence. Matisse's assertion that he "never" could pose "even for Marquet 50 years ago" underscores the depth and permanence of this aversion. By 1949 Matisse's artistic identity depended on control solitude and inward concentration; the act of painting required a carefully managed studio environment and a position of active seeing rather than passive exposure. Being turned into a subject; observed fixed and interpreted by another produced nervousness and pain a reversal of roles that he experienced as psychologically intolerable. That this reaction persisted at the height of his fame and authority reveals not weakness but a fundamental asymmetry at the core of his creative life the necessity of seeing without being seen.<br /> <br /> As a document the letter exposes the psychological tension underlying Matisse's work even though he does not theorize it explicitly. It records the conditions under which creation was possible for him privacy control and emotional insulation and the distress that arose when those conditions were threatened. The letter is an exceptional primary source that illuminates the inner constraints shaping Matisse's practice linking late-career self-knowledge to early avant-garde formation and offering rare autobiographical evidence of the human cost embedded within one of modern art's most confident and influential oeuvres. He Reveals the Inner Conditions Required for His Art to Exist. Condition: The letter is in excellent condition with clean paper strong legibility throughout and a bold well-preserved signature. Overall condition: Excellent. unknown
