‘LYRICAL COLOR’ INSTALLATION ON VIEW AT PHILLIPS COLLECTION IN D.C.

AVV 4-26 #697784

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Phillips Collection presents a special installation on view through July 29, “Lyrical Color: Morris Louis, Gene Davis, Kenneth Noland, and the Washington Color School.”

The Phillips Collection played a pivotal role in offering Washington Color School artists exposure to modern art. These Washington artists frequently visited the museum and found inspiration in the vibrant, light-filled paintings by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul Klee and, later, Mark Rothko.

In celebration of the first major modern art movement to come out of Washington and the influential role of The Phillips Collection on its development, the museum will display more than 20 Color School paintings and works on paper from its permanent collection.

The Phillips Collection is at 1600 21st Street NW. For information, 202-387-2151 or www.phillipscollection.org.
