Each month, Spotlight Tours focus on a different artist or theme, allowing for a deeper dive into specific areas of the collection. Discover the artists in the Barnes collection who made their mark with little or no art school training. Explore how Pippin, Gauguin, Van Gogh, and others avoided the narrow academic paths that standardized artistic styles and instead became some of the most innovative and radical artists of their time. Includes access to the collection before and after the tour.
