Wikipedia description:
James Johnson Sweeney (May 30, 1900 – April 14, 1986) was an American museum curator and writer about modern art. While working for his family's importing business, Sweeney began to work as an editor, curator, art historian and critic. He was a curator for the Museum of Modern Art in New York from 1935 to 1946, Director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, from 1952 to 1960 and Director of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, from 1961 to 1967. Trevor Stark, writing for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, called Sweeney "a tireless advocate for the most adventurous strains of modern art".
