点评:Four years after our initial visit to the Muskegon Museum of Art, I found myself back twice in two months to see special exhibitions and attend associated talks. In April I saw Visions: 16 Detroit Artists and attended a panel discussion with a couple of the artists while several more artists in the exhibition were present and available to talk in the galleries. More recently I came to see the John Steuart Curry: Weathering the Storm exhibition. Stunning and interesting to see so much work of this American artist's work and to learn more about him and how he fits into the American art scene, both from the chronological perspective and from the regional Midwest perspective. I'll be keeping an eye on MMA's upcoming exhibitions. They will be opening a new museum addition so may have bigger and better shows coming. If you haven't visited this museum, they have an excellent permanent collection with works by significant American and European artists like Hopper, Bonnard, Sisley, Catlett, Butterfield, Marsh, and Homer.
翻译:在我们首次参观马斯基根艺术博物馆四年后,我发现自己在两个月内两次回到这里,观看特别展览并参加相关讲座。四月份,我参观了《愿景:16 位底特律艺术家》,并参加了几位艺术家的小组讨论,当时展览中的其他几位艺术家也在场,可以在画廊里发言。最近,我来观看了约翰·斯图尔特·库里 (John Steuart Curry):经受风暴 (Weathering the Storm) 展览。看到这位美国艺术家的如此多作品,并进一步了解他以及他如何融入美国艺术界,无论是从时间顺序还是从中西部地区的角度来看,这都是令人惊叹和有趣的。我会关注 MMA 即将举办的展览。他们将开设一个新的博物馆,因此可能会有更大更好的展览。如果您还没有参观过这个博物馆,他们有一个很棒的永久收藏,其中包括霍珀、博纳尔、西斯莱、卡特莱特、巴特菲尔德、马什和荷马等重要美国和欧洲艺术家的作品。
