OCLC 886353333 "An eye perennially youthful is a rare gift, but it has been granted to Mr. and Mrs. Julius Fleischmann. They have also had the love, the leisure, the conviction, and the means necessary to assemble works of art with discrimination . . . [Their collection] points the way to the significant painting of the future" (from John Walker's Introduction). Julius Fleischmann, (1900-1968) was heir to a Gilded Age fortune, initiated by his grandfather Charles Louis Fleischmann who established himself in the yeast business. Julius was a patron of both visual and performing arts, Broadway producer, land conservationist, philanthropist, yachtsman, amateur anthropologist, and for a good portion of his cruise, a spy for the United States Navy. In addition to this fabulous collection of modern art, Julius and his wife Dorette amassed notable collection of ethnographic material during their round-the-world cruise in 1931 to 1932. The Camargo, the first of five yachts of that name to be owned by Julius Jr., was built at a cost of $625,000 (more than $8 million in today's dollars) and was criticized by the press at the time for her extravagance. Along with a crew of 35 to 40, she could accommodate up to 80 guests in 14 staterooms with most of the comforts of home. During their 11 month voyage, Fleischmann and his crew created maps, sounding charts, and descriptions of the local peoples and topography that would later be used by the U.S. military to advance against many of the Japanese-held islands during World War II. After Pearl Harbor, Julius Jr. joined the Navy as an attaché to European governments in exile, a position that reeks of intelligence service, and during the Cold War served as a front man for the CIA. Like many of the nation's spook class, Julius Jr. was a Yale man, class of 1920nicknamed "Junkie" by his classmates. Among Fleischmann's best-known contributions to the arts was the financing of the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, an influential company that introduced American audiences to ballet in cities and towns across the country.
