dbo:abstract
Mildred Barnes Bliss (September 9, 1879 – January 17, 1969) was an American art collector, philanthropist, and one of the cofounders of the Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection in Washington, D.C. Bliss was born in New York City on September 9, 1879, the daughter of U.S. Congressman Demas Barnes (1827–1888), and Anna Dorinda Blaksley Barnes (1851–1935). She was the stepsister of Cora (Kora) Fanny Barnes (1858–1911). When Anna Barnes remarried in 1894, Mildred Barnes became the stepdaughter of William Henry Bliss (1844-1932) and the stepsister of Robert Woods Bliss (1875–1962) and Annie Louise Bliss Warren (1878–1964). Mildred Barnes was educated at Miss Porter's School in Farmington, Connecticut, and, reportedly, at private schools in France. She was fluent in French and was proficient in Spanish, German, and Italian. She acquired a working farm in Sharon, Connecticut, in 1898, which she sold in 1909. Mildred Barnes married her stepbrother, Robert Woods Bliss, on April 14, 1908. Because of his diplomatic postings, they lived in Brussels (1908–1909), Buenos Aires (1909–1912), Paris (1912–1919), Washington, D.C. (1919–1923), Stockholm (1923–1927), and Buenos Aires again (1927–1933) before returning, in retirement, to Washington, D.C. (1933). Mildred Barnes Bliss was the principal beneficiary of the estates of her stepsister, Cora Barnes, in 1911, and of her mother, Anna Barnes Bliss, in 1935. This wealth was largely based on Demas Barnes’s investments in The Centaur Company, the manufacturers of the laxative Fletcher’s Castoria, the success of which had made him a wealthy man. While living in Paris (1912–1919), the Blisses became reacquainted with Mildred Bliss’s childhood friend, the American Royall Tyler (1884–1953), who was living in Paris with his wife, (1878–1959). Tyler introduced the Blisses to important Parisian art dealers and nurtured their growing interest as art collectors, especially of Byzantine and pre-Columbian artworks. At the outbreak of the First World War, the Blisses helped found the American Ambulance Field Service (later the American Field Service) in France in 1914, to which they donated an entire section of 23 ambulances and three staff cars. The Blisses opened and equipped a central depot in Paris, the “Service de Distribution Américaine,” for the distribution of medical and surgical supplies and clothing. As vice-president of the , beginning in 1914 Mildred Bliss helped establish centers in France for the care of Belgian and French children orphaned or displaced during the war. When America entered the war, Mildred Bliss served as chairman of the executive board of the American Red Cross’s Woman’s War Relief Corps in France. For her work during the First World War, she was made a chevalier of the French Legion of Honor. The Blisses purchased their home, Dumbarton Oaks, in 1920, and also maintained apartments in Paris, at 4 rue Henri Moissan, and New York City, first at 969 Park Avenue in 1922 and then at 104 East 68th Street. Mildred Bliss was elected a member of The Colonial Dames in the State of New York in 1921. In celebration of the Blisses’ thirtieth wedding anniversary, Mildred Bliss commissioned Igor Stravinsky’s Dumbarton Oaks Concerto, which was premiered at Dumbarton Oaks on May 8, 1938. She served on the Board of Trustees of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. After giving Dumbarton Oaks to Harvard University in 1940, the Blisses resided at 1537 28th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. The Blisses had no children. Mildred Bliss died in Washington, D.C., at the age of 89 on January 17, 1969. Mildred Barnes Bliss, född 9 september 1879 i New York i New York, död 17 januari 1969, var en amerikansk konstsamlare, filantrop och en av grundarna till Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection i Washington D.C. Bliss var dotter till den amerikanska kongressmannen (1827–1888) och Anna Dorinda Blaksley Barnes (1851–1935). Bliss utbildade sig på Miss Porter's School i Farmington i Connecticut och även på privatskolor i Frankrike. Hon talade flytande franska och god spanska, tyska och italienska. Modern gifte 1894 om sig med William Henry Bliss (1844–1932) och Mildred Barnes Bliss blev då styvsyster till Robert Woods Bliss (1844–1932) som hon sedan gifte sig med 14 april 1908. Maken var diplomat och paret bodde i Bryssel (1908–1909), Buenos Aires (1909–1912), Paris (1912–1919), Washington, D.C. (1919–1923), Stockholm (1923–1927), och Buenos Aires igen (1927–1933) innan de återvände till Washington, D.C. 1933 för att pensionera sig. Bliss hade en stor förmögenhet som grundade sig i faderns investeringar i The Centaur Company som tillverkade det populära laxermedlet Fletcher's Castoria. Dessa investeringar hade gjort fadern förmögen. Paret Bliss hjälpte till med grundandet av American Ambulance Field Service i Frankrike vid första världskrigets utbrott. Paret donerade 23 ambulanser och öppnade en depå i Paris för distribution av medicinsk och kirurgisk utrustning. Mildred Bliss grundade också flera center i Paris för omhändertagandet av belgiska och franska föräldralösa och förskjutna barn under kriget. När USA gick in i kriget tjänstgjorde Mildred Bliss som ordförande i styrelsen för American Red Cross’s Woman’s War Relief Corps i Frankrike. För hennes arbete under första världskriget tilldelades hon Ordre national de la Légion d'honneur, Hederslegionen. 1920 köpte paret Bliss huset Dumbarton Oaks i Washington, D.C. vilket de 1940 donerade till Harvard University. Idag är det museum, bibliotek och forskningsinstitut. Paret Bliss var konstintresserade och samlade speciellt på bysantinsk konst och konst från förcolumbiansk tid.
