The Phillips Collection
Exhibition Book
Degas’s Dancers at the Barre: Point and Counterpoint, a special exhibition at the Phillips, traces ballet in Edgar Degas’s art from the 1870s to 1900. Bringing together paintings, drawings, pastels, prints, and sculptures from some of the world’s finest collections, this book celebrates The Phillips Collection’s Dancers at the Barre (early 1880s – 1900) as a crowning achievement in the artist’s long career. Full-color reproductions of the works in the exhibition, accompanied by images of related works, discoveries from the painting's recent conservation, notes from technical analysis, and a detailed chronology of the artist’s life, reveal the impressionist master’s complex exploration of the figure and his devotion to dance.

In the cover story of this issue of Breakthrough,
little things can make a big difference. Through an innovative
concept called the Pyramid Fund, hospital patients are
given extras such as room heaters, hand warmers,
free beverages for families, and an "Asthma Traval Pack"
so families can manage the condition at home.
St. Mary's College of Maryland
Alumni Magazine
Our redesign of St. Mary's alumni magazine, The Mulberry Tree, launched this fall.
The magazine is named for the tree under which colonists signed a treaty with the
Yaocomico people in the 1600s. In the 19th century it was a meeting spot for St.
Mary’s students. The college's historic connections inspired the cover typography.
Also for St. Mary's: a promotional kit for sponsors of the River Concert Series held
every summer on campus – "Southern Maryland's version of Wolf Trap."
