The Foundations collection also holds significant examples of American art  including works by Demuth  Glackens  and the Prendergasts; African sculpture; Native American ceramics  jewelry  and textiles; Asian paintings  prints  and sculptures; medieval manuscripts and sculptures; Old Master paintings by El Greco  Rubens  Titian  and others; ancient Egyptian  Greek  and Roman art; and American and European decorative arts and metalwork.  The presentation of the collection reflects Barness educational and aesthetic approach: symmetrical ensembles  or wall compositions  combine works of different periods  mediums  cultures  and styles for the purpose of comparison and study.  Texts by Judith F. Dolkart and Martha Lucy explore the Barnes Foundations collection  educational mission  ensembles  and individual works. Large color plates  little-seen archival photographs  and numerous gatefolds illustrate 150 of the greatest hits of the collection and twenty gallery ensembles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665995358261,"sku":"ByrdShop_0847838064","price":52.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780847838066.jpg?v=1782415216","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-barnes-foundation-masterworks-9780847838066","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
