FROM THE BARNES FOUNDATION’S CATALOG
Angelo Pinto was a Philadelphia-based painter who took classes at the Barnes Foundation along with his two brothers, Biagio and Salvatore. He was a friend of Dr. Barnes and eventually became a teacher at the Foundation. This summer scene of two women in swimsuits leaning against a rail on a windy beach boardwalk is most likely set on the New Jersey coast, a spot frequented by the artist and his family. Pinto employed a complex technique of layering paint on a glass surface, an exacting process that reverses the traditional method of building up an image in paint on a canvas.
