# William J. Glackens and Pierre-Auguste Renoir: Affinities and Distinctions - Hardcover

by **William Glackens** (Artist), **Pierre-Auguste Renoir** (Artist), **Avis Berman** (Contribution by)

In 1912, Alfred C. Barnes, later of the Barnes Foundation, sent his friend William J. Glackens (1870-1938) to Paris to purchase the works of Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919). Subsequently, he had access to all of the new European modern art that Barnes' collection acquired including Paul C zanne, Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso. Examining the similarities and differences in Glackens' late style and Renoir's work, how Glackens' style grew out of those early experiences with the avant-garde and shedding new light on the history of taste in American collecting from the late-19th to the mid-20th century, _William J. Glackens and Pierre-Auguste Renoir: Affinities and Distinctions_ brings together over 30 works from these two artists for the first time in an art history book.
