Duncan and Marjorie Phillips and America's First Museum of Modern Art (Color) (History of Art)

“This book is a great and interesting read! The author has meticulously researched the Phillipses and their collection, both within and beyond the historical context. In this manner the book celebrates the past and future too. . . . Dr. Carter-Birken brilliantly chose to focus on selected artists to provide the reader with a wide but focused range of the Phillips’ enthusiasms. Her chapters on the artists Pierre Bonnard, Arthur Dove, Georgia O’Keeffe, John Marin, Jacob Lawrence, and Mark Rothko not only give readers a great sense of the Phillips’ collection policies but are also replete with carefully crafted details and descriptions. The author’s own descriptions, interspersed with selected quotes from Duncan and Marjorie, are truly beautifully written.” - Leslie Ross, Confluence Book Review"
