点评:Not a bad collection for a local art museum. Don't go expecting the MFA Boston however.
My hope in attending a fine art museum is to see beauty, creativity, and personal expression...and to leave feeling emotionally lifted by the experience. That didn't happen at the PMA.
What I found particularly irritating AND tiresome was the need for the museum to accompany many of the individual fine art paintings with uninformative, woke descriptions. These editorialized on the presumed connections of the dead white guys art to various wrongs of the past including slavery, colonialism, discrimination against women, exploitation of nature, etc...
Might it also be said the descriptions add nothing to the real understanding of the paintings. And the only qualification for writing them in many cases seemed to be the connection of the individual to an oppressed people group. Miserable.
翻译:对于一家当地艺术博物馆来说,这已经很不错了。不过,不要指望波士顿艺术博物馆能有这样的收藏。
我希望参观一家美术博物馆,能看到美丽、创造力和个人表达……离开时,能因这种体验而感到情绪高涨。但在波士顿艺术博物馆,我并没有实现这个愿望。
我觉得特别恼人和令人厌烦的是,博物馆需要为许多单独的美术画作配上毫无信息量的、醒目的描述。这些社论认为,死去的白人艺术与过去的各种错误有牵连,包括奴隶制、殖民主义、歧视妇女、剥削自然等……
也许可以说,这些描述对真正理解这些画作毫无帮助。而且,在许多情况下,写这些描述的唯一资格似乎是个人与受压迫的人群之间的联系。真可悲。
