This spring, The Phillips Collection will present a major exhibition exploring the evolution of American and European landscape painting, on loan from the collection of philanthropist and entrepreneur Paul G. Allen. 

Featuring 39 works, spanning five centuries and showing the development of landscape painting from intimate views of the world to artists’ personal experiences with their surroundings, the exhibition includes work from Monet, J. M. W. Turner, Paul Cézanne, Gustav Klimt, as well as modern and contemporary perspectives of landscapes by 20th-century artists as diverse as David Hockney, Edward Hopper, Georgia O’Keeffe, Gerhard Richter, and Ed Ruscha. These stunning masterpieces demonstrate the power of landscape to define time and place and to record, explore, and understand the natural and man-made world.
