Gallatin was an important critic, art collector and painter. He made frequent trips to Paris where he visited and purchased work from iconic avant-garde artists of the period, including Matisse, Picasso and Cézanne. He exhibited his works publicly in New York, eventually opening NYU's Gallery of Living Art (1927-1942), which was the first institution in the United States to exhibit works by Pablo Picasso (1881-1973), Fernand Léger (1881-1955), Joan Miró (1893-1983) and their avant-garde contemporaries.
