All in all, Barnes was a fascinating individual. He added spice to John Dewey’s life, and Dewey in turn helped to soften Barnes’ bad temper. They had a profound effect upon one another, not only as inspirers of each other’s works but as true companions. For all his ire, there is a humorous and human side to Barnes which can best be seen in reading the vast number of letters he sent to Dewey. Barnes died in 1951 after being hit by a car, and Dewey died the next year.

Note 5: Albert Barnes never intended to open the gallery to great public access, for the Barnes' purpose was educational, and the collection was maintained solely for the use of the Barnes students. Therefore, many years of litigation were required to effect changes that culminated in three days a week visitation privileges to the general public. The first time that the Barnes collection was available for public inspection was March 18, 1961 —38 years after the institution was first established; therefore, 200 visitors were admitted to the gallery two days a week. National and international press chronicled this landmark event. See John Canaday's "Art Lives Up to Its Fabulous Legend As Unexpected Wonders are Disclosed" in the New York Times and "Public Sees Bames Art for First Time" in The Philadelphia Inquirer. [return]

Barnes has perfected her combination of methodologies over the years. Native American animal symbols are used to find spiritual harmony with nature. In nature, every animal has a special gift or power unique unto itself, as does every human being. By mentally connecting human and animal powers as the Native Americans do, a child begins to understand that the same forces flow throughout all living creatures, including themselves. She uses an animal card game to create a visual tool for children, helping to guide them to a greater sense of strength and confidence within their own world.

Barnes became enamored with the writings of William James, a philosopher whom he believed truly understood the common people. James’ pragmatism was in line with his own ‘can-do’ approach to problem solving. Much to his disappointment ... James was already dead by the time Barnes discovered his writings. Then he learned that a professor at Columbia University named John Dewey was considered to be James’ successor as an exponent of pragmatism. He promptly wrote to Dewey in 1917 and asked if he might sit in on one of the professor’s philosophy courses. The always-courteous Dewey agreed to this.

Barnes was born in 1872 to a poor family in Philadelphia. His intellect lifted him from poverty: he was accepted into an elite high school, and he obtained a medical degree by age 20. Rather than practice medicine, he traveled to Germany to study chemistry and philosophy.
