Winding down with my photos from my recent visit to The Phillips. Before I share them let me just encourage you to make a trip there if you are in DC. It’s worth the time. It’s an exceptional collection of post-impressionist and modern art. Duncan Phillips was a brave collector of art who introduced America to modern art through his collection and exhibits. Read more about him here.
My favorite story about Phillips involves him standing in front of “Luncheon of the Boating Party” , probably the most important painting Renoir ever painted, with Albert Barnes, also an art collector and founder of the Barnes Collection in Philly who collected almost 200 Renoir in his lifetime. Barnes says to Phillips, “That’s the only Renoir you have, isn’t it?” to which Phillips says, “It’s the only one I need”.
Today I’m sharing some of Phillips collection of Georgia O’Keeffe. Wonderful examples of her work.
