1 vols. Apx. 10 x 7 inches. Fine. Item #56181 Albert C. Barnes 1872-1951 , self-made businessman, had a distaste for inherited privilege and a respect for the common man, which fed the fires of his interest in industrial relations, self-improvement, and equal rights for African Americans. His desire to provide nondiscriminatory access to art and education led to the creation of The Barnes Foundation in 1922.
