点评:It was my fourth visit and I had only two hours, so I decided to concentrate on the Impressionism and Post Impressionism this time. I started with the most wonderful collection of paintings of the beginning of the 20th century. There are several brilliant Modigliani’s portraits, two lovely paintings by Marie Laurencin, wonderful “ La coiffure” by Henri Matisse, cubist fantasies of Picasso and George Braque. I really wanted to see these East Building rooms because I didn’t do them justice in November 2018 (ran out of time).
Then I headed back to the Main Floor galleries for the “Paris 1874: The Impressionist Moment” exhibit, which was excellent. There were impressionists from the National Gallery own collection as well as some magnificent paintings from Musèe d’Orsay and prominent American art museums as well as from the private collections. Claude Monet, Edouard Manet, Renoir, Degas… that’s just a few names to mention… the exhibit displays their cream of the crop works, the best of the best. After this gem of a collection I decided to continue with the Impressionists and revisited the permanent collection, where superb Van Gogh, Gauguin (think his self portrait!), Toulouse-Lautrec and more of my all time favorites were waiting for me. Well, I lost track of time and at 5pm was politely asked to depart.😊
翻译:这是我第四次参观,而且只有两个小时,所以这次我决定专注于印象派和后印象派。我从 20 世纪初最精彩的绘画系列开始。这里有几幅出色的莫迪利亚尼肖像画、两幅玛丽·罗兰辛的可爱画作、亨利·马蒂斯的精彩“发型”,还有毕加索和乔治·布拉克的立体派幻想画。我真的很想看看这些东楼房间,因为我在 2018 年 11 月没有好好欣赏它们(时间不够)。
然后我回到主楼画廊观看“巴黎 1874:印象派时刻”展览,非常精彩。这里有国家美术馆收藏的印象派画家作品,以及奥赛博物馆和美国著名艺术博物馆以及私人收藏的一些精美画作。克劳德·莫奈、爱德华·马奈、雷诺阿、德加……这只是其中的几个名字……展览展示了他们最精湛的作品,是最好的。看完这些珍品后,我决定继续看印象派作品,并重新参观了永久收藏,那里有梵高、高更(想想他的自画像!)、图卢兹-罗特列克和更多我最喜欢的作品在等着我。好吧,我忘记了时间,下午 5 点就被礼貌地要求离开了。😊
