Art museum worth a visit - keep an eye on their special exhibitions too!
Kalamazoo Institute of Arts的点评
点评:We have stopped to visit the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts a couple of times in the past as we travel across the state. A modern building, their entrance is graced with a Chihuly chandelier and a large Calder mobile. A wonderful George Rickey moving sculpture sits in front of the museum. Their permanent collection is interesting with works by such noted artists as Charles Wilson Peale, John Singleton Copley, Hiram Powers, Deborah Butterfield, and Andy Warhol. They have some very interesting Abstract Expressionist paintings, including two by Helen Frankenthaler. Michigan and Midwest artists are represented well. I was surprised to see their small but diverse Tiffany collection. We also took in their current special exhibition American Realism: Visions of America, 1900-1950 with works by noted American artists like Robert Henri, John Sloan and Reginald Marsh as well as local favorite Zoltan Sepeshy. Having visited to see past special exhibitions, we hope to return to see another one soon.
翻译:过去,我们在穿越该州时曾多次停下来参观卡拉马祖艺术学院。他们是一栋现代化的建筑,入口处装饰着奇胡利枝形吊灯和大型考尔德手机。博物馆前面矗立着一座精美的乔治·里基移动雕塑。他们的永久收藏很有趣,包括查尔斯·威尔逊·皮尔、约翰·辛格尔顿·科普利、海勒姆·鲍尔斯、黛博拉·巴特菲尔德和安迪·沃霍尔等著名艺术家的作品。他们有一些非常有趣的抽象表现主义画作,其中包括海伦·弗兰肯塔勒 (Helen Frankenthaler) 的两幅作品。密歇根州和中西部的艺术家都有很好的代表。我很惊讶地看到他们规模虽小但种类繁多的蒂芙尼系列。我们还参观了他们最近的特别展览“美国现实主义:美国的愿景,1900-1950”,展出了罗伯特·亨利、约翰·斯隆和雷金纳德·马什等美国著名艺术家的作品,以及当地人喜爱的佐尔坦·塞佩什的作品。参观完过去的特别展览后,我们希望很快能再次回来观看另一场展览。
