A revelatory work on how the Warrens of Boston built and filled the fine art museum via their fortune (made in the paper industry of Maine) and their cultivation and subsidy of the great art connoisseur and culture dealer, Bernard Berenson. The tension in this history is how the family tore themselves apart in creating the legacy that they made. ( ) no reviews | add a review
Ned Warren's altercations with his brother Samuel over the estate triggered the latter's suicide, and in recounting the interacting stories of the five Warren heirs as they engaged in art and idealistic politics, author Green re-creates a time and place, the classic Boston, in novelistic style.
