    Kress Gallery

    Samuel H. Kress believed in the positive moral force of art. He knew that many Americans would never have the chance to see, in person, paintings like the ones he had collected. He wanted to give people the opportunity to experience these great works. He also recognized the philanthropic responsibility his wealth gave him. Today, the ideals of Samuel Kress still inform the Kress Foundation, which he founded in 1929, two years after he purchased his first painting.
