Excellent Regional Art Museum: Monet, A Range of Works, Well-Presented
纪念艺术画廊的点评
点评：The Memorial Art Gallery in Rochester can best be described as an excellent regional art museum. It is on the small side as a museum (hence they call it a gallery), but it has a fair-sized collection of outstanding works from many centuries that are very well displayed.
The museum itself seems to occupy several adjacent buildings, which blend together seamlessly inside. As you enter, note the Henry Moore sculpture in the center.
When we visited, they had exhibitions from Nam June Paik and Alma Thomas. The Nam June Paik gallery was small and had fewer than a half-dozen works. That for Alma Thomas was far larger and more representative.
The museum itself covers about 5,000 years and works across various genres, mediums, and styles. The range covers ancient Egypt and Greece up through Dutch Masters, up through great Impressionist works, and ending with highly contemporary works. There are few "iconic" paintings here, but many are outstanding in their own right.
The works on display included works by Dutch artists such as Rembrandt (more about that below), Frans Snyders, Frans Hals, and Jan Steen. Check out Snyders' painting of the Aesop fable of the fox and the heron. Among other old masters, we saw Greco, Ribera, and others. If these names are not familiar to you (and that's fine) many of these artists' works can also be seen in museums like the Louvre.
One highlight for us was the Impressionist gallery, which included three works by Monet, two by Matisse, and others by Braque, Cezanne, Courbet, Bonnard, Leger, Roualt, Degas (sculpture), and Rodin (also sculpture).
Another highlight was the American galleries. You've seen paintings of boxers by George Bellows, but they had some warmer and more personal paintings from him, including one of his family vacationing at the beach. They also have an unusual panoramic painting by Childe Hassam (probably most famous for boulevards lined with flags or scenes of Central Park) of a more pastoral setting. There is an interesting painting (front and back) from Georgia O'Keefe, and a large window by the studio of Louis Comfort Tiffany.
By the way, they have a dozen or so stained glass windows in other place that seem to have been chose for interest. Look, for example, for the separate windows for a heraldic wild man and a heraldic wild woman. Another has a muzzled bear that looks like the artist had never actually seen a bear.
They have creative works from pre-Columbian America, Africa, and other cultures.
For the most part, the descriptions were very helpful, with a bit about both the painting and the painter. The art was also displayed in a way that was both viewer-friendly and favorable to the art itself.
One odd exception was the Rembrandt painting of a boy in an armchair. The description is slight, but like many paintings attributed to Rembrandt, there is some question as to whether he actually painted it. If you ever visit his studio in Amsterdam, it isn't hard to see how these questions arise as he painted among his students. In any case, this museum actually put on an exhibition last year on the investigation into the painting's authenticity. In any case, Rembrandt's work or not (it appears that the answer is less than 100% clear either way), it is here to enjoy.
Leave some time for the museum shop, which has lots of original works in addition to other unusual items for sale. There is a nice sit-down restaurant on site, which we did not use, although we did use the small cafe out front for some coffee and a quick sandwich.
Before or after you go, be sure to see the sculpture garden in front, which is free. It has maybe a dozen or so fun, mostly modern sculptures.
This is not a large enough gallery to compete head-to-head with major museums elsewhere, but what they have here is well-chosen, often excellent in its own right, and extremely well-presented.

翻译：罗切斯特的纪念艺术馆可以说是一个优秀的地区艺术博物馆。作为博物馆，它的规模较小（因此被称为画廊），但它收藏了来自多个世纪的大量优秀作品，并且陈列得非常完好。
博物馆本身似乎占据了几个相邻的建筑，这些建筑内部无缝融合。当你进入时，请注意中间的亨利·摩尔雕塑。
我们参观时，他们举办了白南准和阿尔玛·托马斯的展览。白南准画廊很小，只有不到六件作品。阿尔玛·托马斯的画廊更大，也更具代表性。
博物馆本身涵盖了大约 5,000 年的时间，作品涵盖各种流派、媒介和风格。范围涵盖古埃及和希腊，荷兰大师，伟大的印象派作品，最后是高度当代的作品。这里的“标志性”画作很少，但许多画作本身就很出色。
展出的作品包括荷兰艺术家的作品，如伦勃朗（下文有更多介绍）、弗兰斯·斯奈德斯、弗兰斯·哈尔斯和扬·斯滕。看看斯奈德斯的《狐狸和苍鹭的伊索寓言》画作。在其他老大师中，我们看到了格雷科、里贝拉等人的作品。如果您不熟悉这些名字（没关系），这些艺术家的许多作品也可以在卢浮宫等博物馆看到。
对我们来说，一个亮点是印象派画廊，其中包括莫奈的三件作品、马蒂斯的两件作品，以及布拉克、塞尚、库尔贝、博纳尔、莱热、鲁阿尔特、德加（雕塑）和罗丹（也是雕塑）的其他作品。
另一个亮点是美国画廊。您已经看过乔治·贝洛斯的拳击手画作，但他们也有一些更温暖、更个人化的画作，包括一幅他家人在海滩度假的画作。他们还有一幅由 Childe Hassam 创作的不寻常的全景画（他最著名的作品可能是挂满旗帜的林荫大道或中央公园的风景），描绘的是田园风光。还有一幅有趣的画作（正面和背面），出自 Georgia O'Keefe，还有一扇由 Louis Comfort Tiffany 工作室创作的大窗户。
顺便说一句，他们在其他地方还有十几个彩色玻璃窗，似乎是出于兴趣而选择的。例如，看看纹章野人和纹章野女人的单独窗户。另一扇窗户上有一只戴着口套的熊，看起来艺术家似乎从未真正见过熊。
他们有来自前哥伦布时期的美国、非洲和其他文化的创意作品。
在大多数情况下，描述非常有用，包括一些关于绘画和画家的信息。艺术品的展示方式既方便观众，又有利于艺术品本身。
一个奇怪的例外是伦勃朗的一幅画，画的是坐在扶手椅上的男孩。虽然描述不多，但就像许多归于伦勃朗的画作一样，人们对这幅画是否是他亲手画的也存在疑问。如果你曾经参观过他在阿姆斯特丹的工作室，不难看出这些问题是如何在他与学生一起作画时产生的。无论如何，这家博物馆去年举办了一场展览，调查这幅画的真实性。无论如何，无论这是否是伦勃朗的作品（似乎答案都不是 100% 清楚），它都值得欣赏。
留出一些时间去博物馆商店，那里有很多原创作品以及其他不寻常的物品出售。现场有一家不错的坐下来吃饭的餐厅，我们没有去，不过我们确实去了前面的小咖啡馆喝了点咖啡，吃了个三明治。
在你去之前或之后，一定要去看看前面的雕塑花园，它是免费的。那里可能有十几个有趣的雕塑，大多是现代雕塑。
这个画廊不够大，无法与其他大型博物馆正面竞争，但这里的藏品都是经过精心挑选的，通常本身就很优秀，而且呈现得非常精美。
