For generations, artists have used a wide range of painterly effects to suggest the physical properties and metaphorical significance of human flesh. In Paint Made Flesh, the Phillips Collection surveys figurative paintings since the 1950s, including works from Pablo Picasso, Francis Bacon, Georg Baselitz, Willem de Kooning, Alice Neel, Lucian Freud, Eric Fischl and Julian Schnabel. On display through Sept. 13. The Phillips Collection, 1600 21st St. NW. Tickets are $12, or free for Phillips members. Call 202-387-2151 or click here.
