If you love Parisian cafe poster art then you will want to check out Toulouse-Lautrec Illustrates the Belle Époque at the Phillips. From the Phillips' website: "For the first time in the US, Toulouse-Lautrec Illustrates the Belle Époque presents one of the foremost collections of the artist’s prints and posters. Drawn from the artist’s most prolific years exploring lithography, these iconic images and rarely exhibited unique proofs provide insight into his innovative and complex printmaking process. Encompassing nearly 100 examples of incomparable quality and color, these prints depict daily life and celebrate the premier performers of the belle époque—Aristide Bruant, Marcelle Lender, Cha-U-Kao and others—cleverly caricatured through Toulouse-Lautrec’s perceptive skills of observation and transformation. His modern aesthetic and sharp wit immortalized Paris’s celebrity elite, embraced bohemian culture, and fueled the public imagination." --- "Moulin Rouge" (Al Dente)

Arlene Shechet (pronounced SHECK-ette) currently has a display at Washington DC's Phillip's Collection entitled 'From Here On Now" (a word play on "From Here on Out," playing around with the definition of the future). The little audio recording on The Phillips Collection's website almost sounds like a parody on a Valley Girl artist, but it never deviates enough from being dead-serious to, well, not be taken seriously. "From Here on Now" <--- There are two of these videos, on the right side of the screen (you may need to scroll down a bit) - after you click on the text, click on the center of each one. I'm not convinced Shechet is a great intellect, but I do believe she's a great creative thinker. For whatever that's worth to you (it could be worth anywhere from something to mock, all the way up to something to study), Shechet is worth a thought, even by the most skeptical of viewers, and she's absolutely worth a minute of your time, because, come on, what the hell else are you going to do with the next minute of your life? Why not learn something about Arlene Shechet?

From the Phillips' website: "More than 75 years ago, a young artist named Jacob Lawrence (1917–2000) set to work on an ambitious 60-panel series portraying the Great Migration, the movement between the World Wars of over a million African Americans from the rural South to the industrial North in search of a better life. The mass exodus prompted by wartime shortages and oppressive conditions for blacks in the South, was the largest population shift of African Americans since the time of slavery...The Phillips Collection presents all 60 panels of The Migration Series, reuniting the Phillips’s odd-numbered panels with the Museum of Modern Art’s even-numbered panels from their split acquisition in 1942."
