To go back as much as possible to the founding vision, which was the combined vision of Dr. Barnes and [the philosopher] John Dewey, of helping people appreciate art in a particularly deep way.

This paper has addressed three common misconceptions about the Barnes Foundation relative to its collection, its purpose, and its aesthetic philosophy. What should now be patently clear to the reader is that there is a dearth of substantive, scholarly research on the Barnes Foundation; such a situation should not exist, given the fact that this institution's aesthetic theory is of great import to art education and the field of American aesthetics. As stated earlier, much of the blame rests on the shoulders of the Barnes itself because of the closed manner in which it conducts "business," but there ... appears to be a closed attitude towards the institution emanating from the art world. That is due, in part, to the fact that the Barnes Foundation's philosophy of art is grounded in expression theory, a theory that is not popular among contemporary art institutions today.
