| history |
Edward Mortimer Morris Warburg was an art collector, patron, philanthropist, a founder of the Harvard Society for Contemporary Art (1928), and cofounder, with Mr. Kirstein, of the American Ballet. As a student at Harvard, Warburg acquired a blue-period Picasso and works by Paul Klee and Ernst Barlach which he had bought directly from the artists in their studios. He aquired works by such modern artists as Picasso, Matisse, Hopper, O'Keeffe, Lachaise, Klee, Miro, Brancusi and Calder. Warburg was vice director for public affairs of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (1971 to 1974), and an honorary trustee from 1983 to his death. He was married to the former Mary Whelan Prue Currier; a daughter, Daphne Astor of Cambridgeshire, England. |
