Sobre o Autor

The Phillips Collection is an art museum located in Washington, D.C., known primarily for its impressive collection of modern art, particularly the works of American and European artists from the late 19th to the mid-20th centuries. Established in 1921 by Duncan Phillips, the museum aims to promote understanding and appreciation of modern art through its diverse exhibitions. Phillips, an art collector and philanthropist, originally opened his family home to display his collection, which has since grown to include masterpieces by renowned artists such as Renoir, O'Keeffe, and Dove.

The museum is particularly famous for its iconic painting "Luncheon of the Boating Party" by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, which has become a centerpiece of the collection. The Phillips Collection also engages in educational initiatives and community outreach, making art accessible to a broader audience. Through its carefully curated exhibitions and programs, the museum continues to inspire visitors and foster a deeper appreciation for the artistic movements that have shaped modern art history.
