Im June Simms. Today on the show we go to an art museum in Washington.
American Masters at the Phillips Collection
More than 200 art works by some of Americas best artists have returned home to a museum in Washington, D.C. The paintings had been traveling to shows around the world for the last four years. Now they are on exhibit at the Phillips Collection again. Mario Ritter reports.
The exhibit is called Made in the USA: American Masters from The Phillips Collection. It includes the work of more than 100 American artists. All the paintings were created between 1850 and about 1970.
Museum founder Duncan Phillips collected the artwork from the end of World War l until his death in 1966.
This show is really an opportunity to bring out artists who are under-recognized.
Egg Beater No. 4, 1928 by Stuart Davis
That is exhibit organizer Susan Frank. She says Duncan Philips bought the works at a time when European artists were more in demand.
He was determined that he would dedicate this museum to living American artists and lift up American art out of obscurity and give it the same presence that European works were given by his contemporary collectors and other museums.
