...world's most stunning and least seen collections of Impressionist and Postimpressionist art, 1,100 works by such masters as Cezanne, Seurat and Picasso (whose Jester and Young Harlequin is at left), was long confined to the Barnes Foundation building in a Philadelphia suburb, under the terms of Dr. Albert Barnes' will.

A private person with an itch to dine out (at Elaine's, at the Russian Tea Room), he wants to be admired but not approached. He says he doesn't read reviews of his work, yet he counts as one of the four most important people in his career Vincent Canby, the New York Times critic whose reviews have exhausted superlatives...
