1931, Augustus Vincent Tack, Aspiration -- Phillips Collection (Washington)
From the museum label: Aspiration is one of a cycle of 13 abstract paintings commissioned in 1928 by Duncan Phillips to decorate a large gallery at his museum. Formerly installed in what is now the Music Room, these paintings invited viewers to contemplate universal emotions and the unity of life and art. The fragmented forms seen here were directly inspired by Tack's experience of the grandeur of the Rocky Mountains.
