The Phillips Collection Washington is an art museum founded by Duncan Phillips and Marjorie Acker Phillips in 1921.
Located in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington, it holds collections of inestimable value, including Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Vincent van Gogh, Henri Matisse, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso, Paul Klee, Joan Miro and Mark Rothko.
Duncan Phillips played a fundamental role in introducing America to modern art. Indeed, born in Pittsburgh, Phillips and his family moved to Washington, DC, in 1895.
Starting with a small collection of family paintings in a room of the house, he provided a public space.
By 1930, with a collection of over 600 works, the Phillips family moved to a new house, transforming the entire residence on 21st Street into an art museum.
Phillips collected works by masters such as:
- El Greco, the “first passionate expressionist”
- Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin because “the first modern painter”;
- Francisco Goya because he was “Cézanne”;
- Édouard Manet, a “significant link” in a chain that began with Goya and led to Gauguin and Matisse.
The Phillips Collection, opened in 1921, is the first museum of modern art in America, with a permanent collection of almost 3,000 works by American and European Impressionist and modern artists.
The Phillips Museum is recognized both for its art and for its intimate atmosphere.
The museum is known for its extensive representation of both Impressionist and modern paintings, with works by Paul Cézanne, Honoré Daumier, Edgar Degas, Vincent van Gogh, Paul Klee, Henri Matisse, Claude Monet, and Pablo Picasso.
In 1923, Phillips purchased the Impressionist painting by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Luncheon of the Boating Party.
