The Phillip's Collection Duncan Phillips not only founded the museum, but he donated his art collection and home, and also served as its active director until his death in 1966. Duncan Phillips, Jr had already displayed his interest in art in the book he wrote entitled, The Enchantment of Art, published in 1914.

Duncan Phillips and his wife, the artist Marjorie Acker Phillips, traveled to Europe in the summer of 1923 and purchased the painting in Paris. www.phillipscollection.org /html/lbp.html

Online NewsHour: The Collector -- December 23, 1999 PAUL SOLMAN: Duncan Phillips was born in 1886, heir to the Jones and Laughlin steel fortune. PAUL SOLMAN: To cast a spell: That, finally, was the goal of Duncan Phillips, and his museum achieved it -- at least for artist Richard Diebenkorn, stationed at a marine base near Washington in the 1940s and a frequent visitor, as he recounted years ago. After his father died suddenly in 1917, and his brother -- of the flu, a year later-- Duncan stepped up his collecting to stock a museum in memory of the loved ones. www.pbs.org /newshour/bb/entertainment/july-dec99/phillips_12-23.html   (1640 words)

The Guide -- Collector's Best Goes on Exhibit And now that 30 years have passed since his death, it has come time to appreciate the vision of Duncan Phillips, who was responsible for bringing modern art to Washington 20 years before the National Gallery opened and 50 years before the Hirshhorn Museum. For 50 years — beginning in 1916 and ending with his death in 1966 — Duncan Phillips collected art with the eye of a Yale-trained art historian and both the willingness to indulge personal tastes at the expense of convention and the money of the grandson of a steel magnate. It is fitting that the Phillips Collection throws the viewer for this twist in the conventional logic and expectations of exhibition, which repeated visits to conventional museums have ingrained. www.thehoya.com /guide/100199/guide4.htm   (1236 words)

Phillips Collection :washingtonpost.com In fact, that's all it was until 1921, when art collector Duncan Phillips opened the doors to his Dupont Circle brownstone (albeit a pretty big brownstone) and turned it and his art collection into America's first museum devoted to modern art. The same could be said of Duncan Phillips's legacy, as the "modern" gradually morphs into the "postmodern." Much has changed since the days when the idle heir to an industrialist's fortune first opened to the public the family house in which he was raised. Known for an outstanding assortment of French impressionist paintings, the museum is home to Renoir's masterful "Luncheon of the Boating Party," purchased by Phillips in 1923 for $125,000, a price unheard of at the time for an impressionist canvas. www.washingtonpost.com /ac2/wp-dyn?node=entertainment/profile&id=792587&typeId=3   (1640 words)
