Old ladies approach

One of my favorite things to do is to visit art museums. We have our favorites in Washington DC, but mine is the Phillips Collection. Unfortunately, the Phillips Collection does not have the best café, though it has extraordinary art. It is in the DuPont Circle neighborhood however, where there is a haunt of ours called Teaism.

“Kandinsky and the Harmony of Silence: Painting with White Border provides a fascinating, in-depth look at Wassily Kandinsky's creative process during the five months leading up to his 1913 masterpiece Painting with White Border (Moscow), now in the collection of The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. For the first time in the United States, this exhibition reunites the painting with Kandinsky's 1913 oil study Sketch 1 for Painting with White Border (Moscow), a major holding of The Phillips Collection, as well as ten other preparatory studies in watercolor, ink, and pencil.”
