520    Growing up with the twentieth century, Alfred Barr (1902-
       1981), founding director of the Museum of Modern Art, 
       harnessed the cataclysm that was modernism. In this book--
       part intellectual biography, part institutional history--
       Sybil Gordon Kantor tells the story of the rise of modern 
       art in America and of the man responsible for its triumph.
       Following the trajectory of Barr's career from the 1920s 
       through the 1940s, Kantor penetrates the myths, both 
       positive and negative, that surround Barr and his 
       achievements. Barr fervently believed in an aesthetic 
       based on the intrinsic traits of a work of art and the 
       materials and techniques involved in its creation. Kantor 
       shows how this formalist approach was expressed in the 
       organizational structure of the multidepartmental museum 
       itself, whose collections, exhibitions, and publications 
       all expressed Barr's vision. At the same time, she shows 
       how Barr's ability to reconcile classical objectivity and 
       mythic irrationality allowed him to perceive modernism as 
       an open-ended phenomenon that expanded beyond purist 
       abstract modernism to include surrealist, nationalist, 
       realist, and expressionist art. Drawing on interviews with
       Barr's contemporaries as well as on Barr's extensive 
       correspondence, Kantor also paints vivid portraits of, 
       among others, Jere Abbott, Katherine Dreier, Henry-Russell
       Hitchcock, Philip Johnson, Lincoln Kirstein, Agnes Mongan,
       J.B. Neumann, and Paul Sachs.
