1) Alice Pike Barney, born in Cincinnati, Ohio on January 14, 1857 to October 12, 1931 (aged 74), was an American painter.
2) In 1887 she travelled to Paris to be nearer her two daughters while they attended Les Ruches. While there, she studied painting with Carolus-Duran and Spanish painter Claudio Castelucho.
3) When James Abbott McNeill Whistler opened the Academie Carmen in 1898, she was one of the first students. Whistler soon lost interest in teaching art & the school shut down, but he was a influence.
4) In 1899 she began a salon on the Avenue Victor Hugo; regular guests included painters Lucien Levy-Dhurmer, John White Alexander, & Edmond Aman-Jean, & her art showed a Symbolist influence.
5) The Alice Pike Barney Studio House (now the Embassy of Latvia) is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. She also provided illustrations in a chapbook, 'Some Portrait-Sonnets of Women).
6) Barney had solo shows at major galleries including the Corcoran Gallery of Art. Many of her paintings are now in the collection of the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
