| Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, French, 1864–1901 Figure ("A Montrouge" - Rosa La Rouge), 1886–1887 Oil on canvas © 2009 The Barnes Foundation The Barnes Foundation: Summer Workshops With one of the world's largest collections of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist and early Modern paintings, The Barnes Foundation in Merion, Pa., will hold a series of summer workshops. Some of the sessions during July and August include "Botanical Illustration: Foundation Drawing and Water Color," "Building the Landscape: From Arboretum to Container Gardening," and "Garden Recycling to Save Time and Money." Currently located in a 12-acre arboretum, the Paul Cret-designed gallery houses extensive holdings by Renoir, Cézanne, Matisse, Picasso, Rousseau, Modigliani, Soutine and de Chirico as well as Old Master paintings. In addition, important examples of African sculpture and Native American ceramics, American furniture and metalwork, and antiquities from the Mediterranean region and Asia are on view. The Barnes Foundation is scheduled to relocate to a new building on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia by 2011.The new facility will house the foundation's world-renowned art collection in galleries that replicate the scale, proportion and configuration of the original ones. The Barnes campus on the Parkway will provide a substantial increase in dedicated space for teaching the foundation's art education programs. The state-of-the-art facility will also include space for a special exhibitions gallery, art conservation, classrooms, an auditorium as well as a retail gift shop and cafe. Landscaped grounds on the 4.5-acre site will reference horticultural aspects of the Merion Arboretum. The Barnes Foundation, established by Albert C. Barnes in 1922 to "promote the advancement of education and the appreciation of the fine arts," will contribute to the Parkway experience. The new location will place the extraordinary collection within reach of more visitors from around the world on Philadelphia's principal corridor of outstanding visual arts institutions.
