COMING for Fall 2022
Master Works from the Phillips Collection and the NCMA Collection
in the Context of Modernism
Long before North Carolina ever thought to build a public art collection, Duncan Phillips (1886‒1966) opened the first American museum of modern art in 1921 in his Washington DC home. Initially it was only a gallery added on to the family’s Georgian Revival house. Now it encompasses the entire mansion and beyond with traveling exhibitions like, A Modern Vision: European Masterworks from The Phillips Collection, which will be installed in the NCMA galleries from October 8, 2022, to January 23, 2023. This special exhibition of 50 works from the Phillips will include pivotal examples from Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, Expressionist, and Cubist artists. These works dovetail beautifully with the rich NCMA collection of 19th and early 20th-century European art in the permanent collection. This course will place the Phillips works and the NCMA works into the wider context of modern European art history.
