Welcome to the blog about the life and art of John Pierce Barnes (1893-1954).
John Pierce Barnes was an award-winning student at The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia from 1921-1925.
This blog will cover recent and current exhibitions of Barnes' art, as well as research about his life and work. I am the curator of the John Pierce Barnes family estate art collection.
This painting, Sunset, is part of the permanent collection of Woodmere Art Museum in Philadelphia. It is a view of Philadelphia from Camden, where Barnes worked at RCA in the Victor Design Division.
