The Artist Sees Differently: Modern Still Lifes from The Phillips Collection.

This exhibition of thirty-eight paintings offers an analysis of the modernist still life, including rarely seen works by European and American masters such as Paul Cézanne, Georges Braque, Pablo Picasso, Marsden Hartley, Milton Avery, and George O'Keeffe.
