Barnes. Angelo, Salvatore, and Biagio began their training in the Barnes Foundation art education program, where Dr. Barnes took a special interest in the three boys. He took them to France to meet Henri Matisse and to Northern Africa to paint. In 1932, he purchased four of their paintings to display in the Barnes Foundation; the Pintos were the first Philadelphia artists featured in the collection. Today, the Barnes has five of Angelo?s paintings and two of Biagio?s on display and a hold of Salvatore?s work in the private collection kept in storage.
Our sale includes 151 lots of artwork both by and from the collections of the Pinto brothers. It is the largest contingent of Pinto art to be auctioned at once.
In addition to the Pinto portion of the sale, our Day 2 Fine Art auction includes nearly 100 lots of regional artwork from the collection of Chester County patron David Davis.
