A fascinating biography of the philanthropist Albert Barnes, whose pioneering collection of modern art was meant to transform America’s soulFrom prominent critic and biographer Blake Gopnik comes a compelling new portrait of America’s first great collector of modern art, Albert Coombs Barnes. Raised in a Philadelphia slum shortly after the Civil War, Barnes rose to earn a medical degree and then made a fortune from a pioneering antiseptic treatment for newborns. Never losing sight of the working-class neighbors of his youth, Barnes&nbsp;became a ruthless advocate for their rights and needs. His vast art collection—181 Renoirs, 69 Cézannes, 59 Matisses, 46 Picassos—was dedicated to enriching their cultural lives. A miner was more likely to get access than a mine owner.Gopnik’s meticulous research reveals Barnes as a fierce advocate for the egalitarian ideals of his era’s progressive movement. But while his friends in the movement worked to reshape American society, Barnes wanted to transform the nation’s aesthetic life, taking art out of the hands of the elite and making it available to the average American.The Maverick’s Museum&nbsp;offers a vivid picture of one of America’s great eccentrics. The sheer ferocity of Barnes’s democratic ambitions left him with more enemies than allies among people of all classes, but for a circle of intimates, he was a model of intelligence, generosity, and loyalty. In this compelling portrait, Gopnik reveals a life shaped by contradictions, one that left a lasting impact.

Albert Barnes and His American Dream

The Maverick's Museum

The self-evident truths of 1776 hover over America's divisions-as inspiring ideals, as measures of how far the nation still must come, as the hypocrisy of slaveholders, as intrusions on local traditions. The revolutionary politics of 1776 turned from securing the rights of Englishmen to establishing the authority of an independent nation. The battlefields of 1776 cast the military mould for the war years to come and gave an enduring symbol of gritty determination. Drawing together the eloquence of Jefferson and the insistence of Paine, the strategies of generals and the audacious tactics of armies on the move and the powerful political movement that transformed colonies into states, this history of 1776 is a leading scholar's distillation of the pivotal events that must be reckoned with two hundred and fifty years after the nation's birth.

Why 1776 Matters

Declaring Independence

From legendary journalist Gay Talese, a collection of his greatest reporting on New York City. "Along with Joan Didion, Norman Mailer, Tom Wolfe and others, Mr. Talese has been acclaimed as a virtuoso of the novelistic New Journalism."&nbsp;-Wall Street Journal"They fly in quietly-unnoticed, like the cats, the ants, the doorman with three bullets in his head, and most of the other offbeat wonders in this town without time." -from&nbsp;"New York Is a City of Things Unnoticed," Talese's first&nbsp;Esquire&nbsp;story,&nbsp;1960For over six decades, Gay Talese has told New York stories. They are the stories of daring bridge builders, disappearing gangsters, intrepid&nbsp;Vogue&nbsp;editors, unassuming doormen who've seen too much. They are&nbsp;set in&nbsp;the star-studded salons of George Plimpton's apartment, in&nbsp;the tense newsroom of a still burgeoning&nbsp;New York Times, in an&nbsp;electric studio session with Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga recording their debut. With the wit, elegance, and depth of insight that has long characterized his work, Talese's New York reporting showcases a master of the form at his finest, making intelligible the city's vibrant beating pulse, capturing the charming, the eccentric, and the overlooked. Whether prowling the night streets to discover the social hierarchy of alley cats, or uncovering the triumph and terror of building the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, or plunging into the hidden, sordid world of a recently blown-up apartment building, Talese excavates the city around him with a reporter's eye and an artist's flair, crafting delightful, profound, indelible portraits of the people who live there. Spanning the 1950s to today, the fourteen pieces in this collection are a time capsule of what New York once was and still is-Talese proves time and time again that, even as the city&nbsp;changes, his view of it remains as timeless as ever.&nbsp;
