点评:The Farnsworth Art Museum is a six-minute walk from the Rockland Harbor Hotel (see separate review) and the main reason a friend of mine from Maine urged me to visit Rockland. It's famous for its Wyeth collection, most of which is in a Wyeth Center that was unfortunately was closed during our visit. However, the main building also has paintings by Newell, Andrew, and Jamie. The works of regional groups of artists provided context and a good overview of the influence of Maine painters in terms of subject matter and style. I enjoyed the exhibits of modern art as well and was struck by how wisely FAM fills its space. None of the rooms were overcrowded, the selections were very different and striking, and I left each area feeling as if I'd enjoyed a plateful of assorted delicacies.
FAM is perfect for those who want to immerse themselves in art but only have (or want) two or three hours rather than an entire day to spend on it. When you're done, pick up souvenirs from the gift shop and get lunch at one of the restaurants in either direction on Main Street. If you're looking for home decor or an unusual gift, check out 365 Gallery and Design Store across the street. It's also owned by the FAM and has small items as well as larger furnishings.
翻译:法恩斯沃斯艺术博物馆距离罗克兰港酒店(详见另文)仅需步行六分钟,这也是我一位来自缅因州的朋友极力推荐我去罗克兰的主要原因。博物馆以其怀斯作品收藏而闻名,其中大部分藏于怀斯中心,可惜我们去的时候中心关闭了。不过,主楼内也收藏了纽厄尔、安德鲁和杰米等艺术家的作品。当地艺术家的作品为了解缅因州画家在题材和风格上的影响提供了背景和概览。我也很喜欢现代艺术展,并惊叹于法恩斯沃斯艺术博物馆巧妙的空间布局。每个展厅都宽敞明亮,展品风格各异,引人入胜,每次参观完都感觉像是享用了一盘琳琅满目的美食。
对于那些想要沉浸于艺术之中,但只有(或只想)两三个小时而非一整天时间的人来说,法恩斯沃斯艺术博物馆是理想之选。参观结束后,您可以去礼品店挑选纪念品,然后在主街两侧的餐厅享用午餐。如果您想购买家居装饰品或别致的礼物,可以去街对面的365画廊设计商店看看。这家店也隶属于FAM,出售各种小物件和大型家具。
