Salvatore Pinto (1905–1966) was part of a Philadelphia-based family of artists that, along with his brothers Angelo and Biagio, were favored and collected by Albert C. Barnes. Through his Foundation, Barnes awarded Pinto prizes to inspire his "modernism" through travels to Europe, Corsica, and Africa. This lecture will focus on the artist, his work, and how the Pinto brothers were a trans-atlantic link between Philadelphia and European modernism.
