Albert C. Barnes was a man beyond his time. While the post-impressionists were being scrutinized and just starting to become better known, Barnes was collecting their work and amassing a huge collection of post-impressionist and early modern art. The Barnes Foundation, created by Barnes in 1922 to “promote the advancement of education and the appreciation of the fine arts and horticulture.”1, has one of the greatest collections of post-impressionist and early modern art in existence.

With so many rules in the English language, it is easy for one to wonder how they were created. The dictionary, for example, was only created a few hundred years ago by people who thought that was how language was supposed to be. Many artists have had the mission to go forward and break these “rules.” Gertrude Stein’s Tender Buttons, bill bissett’s “text bites,” and John Agard’s “I Ain’t No Oxford Don” question rules of grammar and synaptic normality.

In the year of 1909, Henry Matisse was in the receipt of order from rich Russian industrialist Segey Shukin. Three large canvases for Shukin’s staircase in the Trubetskoy mansion of Moscow were to be painted. H. Matisse, Dance I, of 1909, oil on canvas, was supposed to be a preparatory sketch. In making this piece, Matisse followed the inspiration of 1905-1906 Bonheur de Vivre (Joy o Life). Dance I shows the bodies expressing the joy and pleasure, similar to the Fauve art piece.

There are many conspiracy theories as to how she died and whose fault it was, but with the evidence I have gathered, it is hard to believe anything else could be blamed for her death.
