Overview and metadata sections

George Grey Barnard was an American sculptor and collector of Medieval art. Described by Harold Dickson in his introduction to "George Grey Barnard Centenary Exhibition, 1863-1963" as a "born" sculptor, Barnard was among the greatest of American sculptors and a medalist at the Salon of the Champs de Mar in Paris. Also a collector, Barnard located and arranged the pieces that eventually became "The Cloisters," now of New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Born in 1863 in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, Barnard received art training at the Chicago Art Institute and at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, there a student of Jules Cavelier. Unknown, Barnard was an instant sensation at the 1894 Salon with his Rodinesque piece, "I Feel Two Natures Struggling Within Me," which also belongs to the Metropolitan. In 1902 Barnard was commissioned to create statuary for the new Pennsylvania Capitol in Harrisburg. He was producing pieces for private individuals as well, including his special patron, John D. Rockefeller, Jr.

At this time, Barnard was commissioned by Charles P. Taft to create a statue of Abraham Lincoln for Cincinnati. It was erected in 1917. Not idealistic like the Saint-Gaudens Lincoln, Barnard's was a gangly, beard-less Lincoln of the Douglass debates, and one showing great sensitivity, frailty, and emotion. This portrayal became the focus of a scandalous controversy when a copy was to be presented to Westminster Abbey. Eventually, Barnard's was transferred to Manchester, a center of working men, and Saint-Gauden's was erected in London.

While carrying out his Harrisburg commission in France, funding for the project nearly collapsed due to graft. In order to support his family, Barnard was reduced to scavenging the countryside for medieval antiques he could sell. With this he launched his avocation of collecting great medieval pieces. Barnard retained his best finds and built "The Cloisters" which he sold to Rockefeller in 1925 for $600,000. Rockefeller then gave The Cloisters to the city of New York as a park/museum. Barnard later built a second collection which was sold by his estate to the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 1945.

The son of a preacher, George Grey Barnard was greatly moved by the devastation of World War I, and devoted his life after that carnage to creating a monument to Peace. He designed a hundred-foot high "Rainbow Arch" which included about 400 figures. Dedicated to the Mothers of America, Barnard wished to build his arch entirely of his own funds, and nickles and dimes contributed by children. He spent many years and all his resources on the arch, yet only completed a plaster model before his health failed and he died in 1938.

George Grey Barnard married Edna Monroe of Boston in 1895. He was survived by his wife and his three children, son Monroe and daughters Vivia Barnard and Barbara McGregor.

These records are interesting in many ways: as reflections of a very colorful man, as a history of an exciting era in the art world, and as the chronicle of an artist trying to make ends meet.

George Grey Barnard was a passionate man who was involved in many different arenas. The records of his collecting are fascinating in that they reveal a side of museums mostly unknown to people: how they acquired what they have. Barnard corresponded with museums, often desperately trying to sell his sculpture and his collections. The records of his Cloister Collections, one of which found a home at the Metropolitan Museum's Cloisters and the other at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, provides a rich background to two current museum treasures.

Barnard himself was interesting. His writings were flowery and passionate, often containing references to divine inspirations and righteous missions. He often was consumed in one activity or another, such as bringing a live turkey as a guest of honor to a vegetarian Thanksgiving feast, or offering twelve museums "first rights" to a collection of medieval objects he was selling. In debt most of his life, Barnard often was scurrying to avoid creditors and bankers. His magical personality, fame as an artist, and influential friends rescued him in times of difficulty, as is evidenced in his financial papers and his personal and business correspondence.

Portraying his role as an artist, Barnard's papers regarding his Lincoln sculpture are thrilling. His correspondence with his patrons, his casting foundry, and his models provide insight to the intricacies of sculpture production. The row over portraying Lincoln - whether strong and idealistic as Saint-Gaudens sculpted him, or gangly, emotional and human as did Barnard - sparked a controversy in the art world which is yet unresolvable. What is the mission of art and the artist? Throughout his papers Barnard's philosophy was apparent: he was gifted and felt responsible for honoring his Maker with his art, and he felt needy of evoking pathos towards injured or less-fortunate souls. This attitude of Barnard, when blended with his incessant pecuniary pressures and scheming, reflect a delightfully unpredictable man whose papers are seldom dull and often surprising.

The records came to the Archives roughly grouped into series and in over-stuffed folders, sometimes with labels missing. In some cases it was necessary to create order, in others just to polish the existing configuration. Care was taken to maintain the original order when possible. In some cases items have been arranged within folders in order to enhance the evidential value of the papers; in other cases there may be a very loose intra-folder organization.

Probably acquired in 1945, when the Museum purchased the Barnard Abbaye of Medieval art from the Barnard estate. Transferred from the Office of the Curator of Medieval Art to the Archives in 1975.

The collection, with material dated 1897-1945, and finding aid were microfilmed by the American Archives of Art. Reel nos. 3658-3664. Copies are availabe for use in the Museum's Library.

Scope and Content Note

This series consists of oversized items and materials other than paper documentation.

Architectural drawings.
Scope and Content Note

The drawings consist of six blueprints of Baranrd's studio prepared by Duncan Candler in 1928.

Scope and Content Note

Various genres comprise this subseries of items belonging primarily to Barnard, as well as to his father and son. Barnard's secretary apparently kept the daily journals, recording phone calls, appointments and various transactions. Some notes and pieces of correspondence are inserted between the bound pages. Many of the entries pertain to Barnard's dealings in Medieval artifiacts as well as to his attempts to resolve financial matters. Some of the entries are in his hand and appear to be his way of communicating with his various secretaries. Also included here is a box of postcards. Although several of the postcards contain correspondence, most are blank and appear to have been kept as reference of the French or Italian architecture or artwork depicted. Two of the postcards that depict the 1910 flood of Moret are also printed with the notation that Barnard's studio was located on that particular street. In addition to the unidentified lock of hair and small colorful feather contained in the leather billfold, several pieces of personal correspondence written by a few family members were also folded and stored in it at one time. These items are now housed in individual folders.

Items belonging to Rev. John H. Barnard include a bank book and two small notebooks in which he recorded an 1887 ocean voyage from New York to Liverpool and a trip to Europe in 1889. Another journal appears to contain notes for sermons, with scripture quotations and other observations. The elder Barnard's name is also embossed on the volume published for the dedication ceremonies of his son's sculptural commission for the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania state capitol building. The notation made in the pocket-sized volume of the New Testament appears to be in the minister's hand and to read, "Christmas 1901 from father."

There are also two sets of cancelled checks that someone meticulously glued back to the corresponding check stubs. One set of checks was signed by Barnard, and his son Monroe signed the other. A full-page, tabloid-size clipping pertaining to Barnard's Rainbow Arch, and a 1938 clipping with an aerial view of the Metropolitan's Cloisters are also included.

Scope and Content Note

Many of the photographs pertain to Medieval sculpture and architectural elements and therefore were probably compiled by Barnard as reference in his collecting and dealing in such pieces. There are also a significant number of photographs of jackhammers, many of which depict men operating the equipment underground or on rugged outdoor terrain. An autographed full-length portrait of the dancer Isadora Duncan is also included with the inscription, "To the Idealist from the Epicurean."

Scope and Content Note

Comprised of clippings and correspondence, this scrapbook documents the positive publicity and praise for the "Cloisters," Barnard's personal museum of French Gothic art and architectural elements that he exhibited in a building he constructed on the northern reaches of New York City's Washington Heights area at Fort Washington Avenue and 181st Street. Several of the later clippings pertain to the sale of land adjacent to his museum, which dashed Barnard's vision to turn the area into an art acropolis, and to the possibility of his need to sell off his Medieval collection. That sale did occur three years after the completion of this scrapbook, with John D. Rockefeller as the major buyer on behalf of the Metrolpolitan Museum of Art. Rockefeller also later financed the construction of what is still known today as the Cloisters to house his 600-piece purchase.
