Aesthetics experts agree that art is best beheld fresh, before still-life potatoes begin to sprout eyes and poker-playing dogs go extinct. Feed your eyes with a fresh feast of modern art with today's Groupon: for $6, you get one ticket to the Kandinsky & Stella Exhibitions (June 11 to September 4) at The Phillips Collection in Washington, DC. (up to a $12 value) Children 18 and younger are admitted for free.

Since opening in 1921, The Phillips Collection has nurtured an exquisite collection of modern and impressionist works by canvas camouflaging masters such as Renoir, Rothko, Bonnard, O'Keeffe, van Gogh, and Degas. In celebration of its 90th anniversary, the internationally recognized Dupont Circle landmark will orchestrate a rich bouquet of programs, exhibitions, and events throughout 2011 before blowing out the 90 candles blazing on its birthday cake.

Guests visiting the Kandinsky and the Harmony of Silence: Painting with White Border exhibition will explore the creative processes that Vasily Kandinsky employed while creating his 1913 masterpiece, Painting with White Border. While working over a period of five months, the artist drafted several watercolors, drawings, and oil studies before discovering how to not only record the powerful impressions that loitered in his brain, but also how to make a 3-D image of a sailboat appear when the painting is stared at for several hours. The Stella Sounds: The Scarlatti K Series exhibition will mark the museum debut of works from Frank Stella's Scarlatti Kirkpatrick Series. Inspired by the 18th-century harpsichord sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti, the works feature a series of colorful, spiraling polychrome forms that stake territory in a realm somewhere between painting and sculpture.
