点评:We decided to make the most of our trip to Chesterwood, so we purchased the house tour ticket, which included the studio tour. There's also a self-guided tour available for those interested.
The house tour was enjoyable, but the studio tour truly impressed us. The guide for that part of the tour was incredibly knowledgeable and engaged the group with interesting questions. It was very enlightening about artistic expression in sculpture.
We learned how large sculptures are created, including ones larger than life-size, like the 20-foot-tall Lincoln statue. The guide explained the historical detail of Lincoln's swollen hands in the statue. So much handshaking caused swollen hands, and the Kennedys even used ice water to treat theirs after greetings. At the time of photographing Lincoln for the statue, his hands were so swollen that he had to hold onto a stick which can be seen in the statue.
翻译:我们决定充分利用切斯特伍德之旅,所以我们购买了房屋参观门票,其中包括工作室参观。有兴趣的人还可以参加自助游。
房屋参观很有趣,但工作室参观给我们留下了深刻的印象。这部分的导游知识渊博,向团队提出了有趣的问题。这对雕塑的艺术表达非常有启发性。
我们了解了大型雕塑是如何创作的,包括比真人还大的雕塑,比如 20 英尺高的林肯雕像。导游解释了林肯雕像中肿胀双手的历史细节。握手太多导致手肿,肯尼迪夫妇甚至在问候后用冰水治疗他们的手。在为雕像拍摄林肯时,他的手肿得很厉害,以至于他不得不抓住一根棍子,这在雕像中可以看到。
