From Library Journal
Judging by recent publications, there currently seems to be an interest in and nostalgia for the great collectors of the recent past: Havemeyer ( Splendid Legacy. 1993), Barnes ( Great French Paintings from the Barnes Foundation , LJ 5/15/93), Morgan, and now Freer. Charles Lang Freer, whose original gift to the nation in 1906 formed the basis of a singular collection of Asian art, realized in his collection a link between East and West matched only in James McNeill Whistler's Peacock Room. On the occasion of the opening of the renovated Freer galleries at the Smithsonian, this book is a celebration of the man. It is part biography and part catalog, detailing both the development of a connoisseur and the creation of a collection. Numerous color illustrations give just a hint of the extraordinary scope of the galleries, truly a national treasure. As an excellent introduction and a basis for further study, this work should be part of any art library collection and most large public library collections.
