点评:The modern building of the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec with its spiral staircase is absolutely stunning. The art was very contemporary, but I did like some of the abstract paintings mostly for their color palette, not for the meaning.
The Brousseau Inuit Art collection of sculptures created by the Inuit people residing in the Arctic regions of Canada was an unusual and pretty impressive sight.
I also liked the originality and whimsical forms of the glass vases, chandeliers, and other art objects created by local artists.
The highlight of my visit was an extensive exhibit of phenomenal sculptor, Niki de Saint Phalle. Her creativity is boundless and her social causes, such as her fierce fight for women rights and against AIDS, are noble and commendable. She opened her own line of perfume to finance her sculptures and was very successful as an entrepreneur. Her sculptures are so bright, intricate and immediately recognizable - she created her own style not comparable with anyone else’s.
Her major project was The Tarot Garden in Tuscany and now I regret I haven’t seen it yet. The idea of her garden is similar to the Gaudi’s Park Güell in Barcelona, but it looks very different. There is a an interesting short film about the tedious process of building the Tarot Garden. My photos will definitely tell you more about her work.
Then we had lunch at the museum cafe, which was acceptable but unassuming. My husband liked his smoked meats sandwich and I was happy with my small macaroni salad.
翻译:魁北克国立美术博物馆的现代建筑及其螺旋楼梯绝对令人叹为观止。馆内展出的艺术作品极具当代风格,但我确实喜欢一些抽象画,主要是因为它们的色彩,而非其含义。
布鲁索因纽特艺术馆收藏了居住在加拿大北极地区的因纽特人创作的雕塑,令人叹为观止。
我还喜欢当地艺术家创作的玻璃花瓶、枝形吊灯和其他艺术品,它们独具匠心,造型奇特。
本次参观的亮点是杰出雕塑家妮基·德·圣法勒的大型展览。她创造力无限,她为争取妇女权利和抗击艾滋病等社会事业所做的努力,都值得高尚和赞扬。她创立了自己的香水品牌来资助雕塑创作,并成为一名非常成功的企业家。她的雕塑作品色彩鲜明、工艺精湛,辨识度极高——她创造了独一无二的风格,无人能及。
她的主要项目是托斯卡纳的塔罗花园,现在我后悔还没去参观。她的花园设计理念与高迪设计的巴塞罗那桂尔公园相似,但外观却截然不同。有一部有趣的短片讲述了建造塔罗花园的繁琐过程。我的照片一定会让你更多地了解她的作品。
然后我们在博物馆的咖啡馆吃了午饭,味道尚可,但并不张扬。我丈夫很喜欢他的熏肉三明治,我则对我的小份通心粉沙拉很满意。
