Modernist architect Edward Larrabee Barnes is the subject of an exhibition at the Katonah Museum of Art, which Barnes designed in 1990.
Barnes, who graduated from the Harvard Graduate School of Design in 1942, resided in Westchester County, New York. He built a number of modern residences in the area, including his own home (pictured), which was completed in 1952.
