Special Lectures by Post-Doctoral Fellows 

 

The Eye of Marjorie Phillips

by Jennifer T. Criss

Thursday, March 6, 6:30 pm

 

For forty-five years, painter Marjorie Phillips was wife and artistic
sounding board to collector Duncan Phillips. Although Duncan has
received the lion's share of recognition for the development of The
Phillips Collection, Marjorie put her stamp on its evolution, too. This
talk explores Marjorie's personal collecting aesthetic, focusing on her
private collection, as well as on her contributions to the growth of the
museum, from the time of her collaboration with Duncan through her
tenure as director (1966-1972). Jennifer T. Criss was a post-doctoral
fellow at the Phillips' Center for the Study of Modern Art/Illinois at
the Phillips in the fall 2007 and teaches art history at The George
Washington University.  

 

Lecture takes place in the Sant Auditorium.  

Included in museum admission; free to members.

Painting as Translation, or Seeing and Knowing in the Art of Arthur Dove


by Rachael DeLue

Wednesday, April 23, 5:30 pm

            

Arthur Dove's abstract paintings of the natural world are well known.
Less familiar is that his understanding of scientific inquiry lay behind
his efforts to translate invisible phenomena, including sound, into
pictorial language. Rachael DeLue, professor of American Art at
Princeton University, is a 2008 post-doctoral fellow at the Phillips'
Center for the Study of Modern Art/Illinois at the Phillips.

 

Lecture takes place at the Center, a Carriage House behind the museum.
