Being Dr. Albert C. Barnes

"The Barnes Foundation would attack...the enemies of intelligence and imagination in art, whether or not these enemies are protected by financial power or social prestige." --Dr. Albert C. Barnes
I so honor Dr. Barnes who wanted his some $40 billion dollar art collection to be kept for educational purposes and despise the actions of all of those who thwarted his will for profit.

I really looked at your 'Being Brand' and I have to say that it fits in with how I see the term 'human BEING'...

Not familiar with today's topic to comment, but then, it makes a comment all on its own, doesn't it?

@Big Mark 243. May I recommend a film called "The Art of the Steal" that explains the background of the controversy about Dr. Barnes's legacy and the crimes against it. If you want to see a website with more details, visit Friends of the Barnes Foundation at http://www.barnesfriends.org
