Once again, the Barnes shows more work of white Europeans interpretation of the exotic than works by actual artists from the cultures being exploited. And of course they cannot champion African art without including the “contributions” Picasso made to its relevance. There’s Matisse with a room to himself to truly honor his mastery of deconstructing the female form to an animallike form. This photo of Renoirs painting complements it as he thought of women as amoral and lived much like children. When you look at his paintings, keep in mind that he said, “My models don’t think at all”. In this painting of his, she is nude seating in grass touching what resembles a collar. Really Barnes?? I did see some Horace Pippin but is that supposed to be enough diversity for us along with the handful of female work?? #barnesfoundation #cmonphilly #wechangethegame #artworldwewant #art #modernart #artmuseum #outwithrenoir #movepicassofromafricanart
