Item description from seller

Rich purple boards with gilt text on the spine. Matte purple dust jacket with lilac and yellow text on the spine. Light gray-green end pages. 224 pages; profusely illustrated with color images. "The Phillips Collection, America's first museum of modern art, was founded in 1921 by Duncan Phillips (1886-1966), a Washington DC collector who played a vital role in introducing America to contemporary art. Unusually for his time, Phillips saw American artists as fully equal to their European counterparts, often hanging their works side by side. Moreover, Phillips chose to buy and exhibit works according to stylistic continuities and affinities, reflecting the visual connections between various artistic expressions, past and present. Master Paintings from The Phillips Collection highlights 108 masterworks from the Phillips's permanent collection and offers insight into the creation of one of the greatest private collections of modern art in the world." Contents are as follows: Art and intimacy / Robert Hughes -- Seeing beautifully : a vision of the whole / Eliza E. Rathbone -- Duncan Phillips : champion of American art / Susan Behrends Frank -- Master paintings / Susan Badder, Susan Behrends Frank, Johanna Halford-MacLeod, Renée Maurer, Klaus Ottmann, Eliza E. Rathbone, Elsa Smithgall, Vesela Sretenovic. VG/VG: Exlibrary book in great shape. Stamp on the front free end page. Clean body pages and solid binding.…
