Founded in 1922 by wealthy American drug developer and art collector Albert C. Barnes, the Barnes Foundation became the finest collection of paintings by Renoir, Cezanne, Matisse, and Van Gogh. Barnes envisioned his foundation as an art school, not a public museum. But since his death in 1951, the collection has been fought over. One side defending Barnes' wish that the collection never be moved, loaned, or sold and the other side pushing to relocate it to downtown Philadelphia. 1 videodisc (101 min.) N675 .A78 2010
