Dust jacket notes On May 10 1939 when the museum of Modern Art celebrated the opening of its handsome new home on Manhattans West Fiftythird Street it signaled the triumph of modern art and its foremost missionary and defender Alfred H Barr Jr Now on the fiftieth anniversary of that opening Alice Goldfarb Marquis offers a superlatively entertaining account of MOMAs first director and guiding genius who transformed a threeroom exhibition gallery into a worldfamous museum and in the process became perhaps the single most powerful influence in the creation of todays art establishment Handpicked by Abby Aldrich Rockefeller to head a fledgling museum dedicated to the controversial art of the twentieth century Alfred Barr seemed an unlikely choice The frail bespectacled art professor from Wellesley the son of a Presbyterian minister was virtually unknown had no administrative experience and could hardly be expected to deal successfully in the rapacious tightly interconnected arena of the international art market But young Barr proved astonishingly capable quickly establishing a network of contacts among artists dealers influential critics wealthy patrons and potential donors Though limited by a minuscule buying budget Barr had an unfailing eye for excellence and an unexpected talent for haggling enabling him to acquire for MOMA the worlds finest collection of modern art a catalog of masterpieces now valued in the tens of millions of dollars Mondrian Rousseau Braque Klee Rodin Moore Giacometti Arp Picasso Rothko Pollock Barrs wideranging taste encompassed them all And his carefully planned exhibitions and explanatory notes made them understandable to millions of MOMAs visitors Nor was Barrs interest limited to the fine arts Under his direction the museum brought aesthetic standards to the materials of everyday life

An intellectual biography of Alfred H Barr Jr founding director of the Museum of Modern ArtGrowing up with the twentieth century Alfred Barr 19021981 founding director of the Museum of Modern Art harnessed the cataclysm that was modernism In this bookpart intellectual biography part institutional historySybil Gordon Kantor tells the story of the rise of modern art in America and of the man responsible for its triumph Following the trajectory of Barrs career from the 1920s through the 1940s Kantor penetrates the myths both positive and negative that surround Barr and his achievementsBarr fervently believed in an aesthetic based on the intrinsic traits of a work of art and the materials and techniques involved in its creation Kantor shows how this formalist approach was expressed in the organizational structure of the multidepartmental museum itself whose collections exhibitions and publications all expressed Barrs vision At the same time she shows how Barrs ability to reconcile classical objectivity and mythic irrationality allowed him to perceive modernism as an openended phenomenon that expanded beyond purist abstract modernism to include surrealist nationalist realist and expressionist artDrawing on interviews with Barrs contemporaries as well as on Barrs extensive correspondence Kantor also paints vivid portraits of among others Jere Abbott Katherine Dreier HenryRussell Hitchcock Philip Johnson Lincoln Kirstein Agnes Mongan J B Neumann and Paul Sachs
