The cards have an image of David and Goliath painted in 1932 by Angelo Pinto* and used with permission.
*Angelo Pinto was an important part of the Barnes Foundation. He was born in 1908 in Italy and moved to South Philadelphia in 1909 with his family. From 1929 to 1931, he studied at the Barnes Foundation. From 1931 through 1933, Dr. Barnes provided scholarships for Angelo Pinto to study and paint in Europe, where he befriended Henri Matisse. Upon Angelo Pinto's return to Philadelphia, Dr. Barnes hired him in to teach the second year course, "The Traditions", which he taught once a week almost until his death in 1994, commuting from New York City where he lived since 1941. Six of Angelo Pinto paintings hang in the galleries of the Barnes Foundation today, including a reverse glass painting of David and Goliath. We are deeply grateful for the gift of this image made available to help our efforts to save the Barnes Foundation. |
