点评:Never been out to Long Island before, but on this roadtrip, as we would be driving into Manhattan, we decided that we had to visit the Pollock-Krasner House & Studio. And we got in just under the wire as October 31 was the last day for tours this year. Despite a long drive out to East Hampton, we were early for our 2pm guided tour. We wandered about the grounds to take outdoor photos, and then checked in at the Museum Store. Our tour began in the House, where Jackson and Lee lived and worked. Docent James W sat our group of 8 in the circle of chairs and shared the story of Jackson and Lee and how they bought a rundown farmhouse with a barn and made it a home and studio. Lee lived there until her death in 1984, so it is essentially her home that we see. Totally interesting story!! Then we toured the house, both floors. Nice to see the light and the view from the 2nd story. Then we walked over to the barn, which once it was moved to its current site, served as Jackson's studio where he made his drip paintings for a number of years. After his death in 1955, Lee fixed it up, covering the floor, and made it her studio. Upon her death, as the site was being spruced up for visitors, the paint-splattered floor was uncovered. And now fans of Jackson and Lee come to remember them and their art! It really is remarkable to know that they walked on this floor...that Jackson painted on this floor and she painted canvases on the walls. Some of the most extraordinary art was made here!
翻译:之前从未去过长岛,但这次自驾游,因为要开车去曼哈顿,所以我们决定一定要去参观波洛克-克拉斯纳故居和工作室。我们赶在最后期限前到达,因为10月31日是今年的最后一天开放参观。尽管开车去东汉普顿路途遥远,我们还是提前到达了下午2点的导览团。我们在园区里四处走走,拍了一些户外照片,然后去博物馆商店登记。我们的参观从故居开始,杰克逊和李曾在这里生活和工作。讲解员詹姆斯·W安排我们一行八人围坐在椅子上,讲述了杰克逊和李的故事,以及他们如何买下一座破旧的农舍和谷仓,并将其改造成住宅和工作室。李一直住在这里,直到1984年去世,所以我们看到的基本上是她的故居。真是个引人入胜的故事!之后我们参观了房子的两层。从二楼欣赏到的光线和景色真是太棒了。然后我们走到谷仓,它被搬到现在的位置后,曾是杰克逊的工作室,他在这里创作滴画多年。1955年杰克逊去世后,李对谷仓进行了修缮,铺上了地板,并将其改造成自己的工作室。李去世后,在为迎接游客而对谷仓进行修缮时,沾满颜料的地板被重新揭开。如今,杰克逊和李的粉丝们前来缅怀他们和他们的艺术!得知他们曾在这地板上行走……杰克逊曾在这地板上作画,而她曾在这墙上挥洒颜料,这真是令人惊叹。一些最杰出的艺术作品就诞生于此!
