Saddened by the state Gwen Frostics has become

Gwen Frostic Prints的点评

点评：My family would vacation at Chimney Corners every year from 1986-1993. If it wasn't a beach day we'd head out to town and visit places like Gwen Frostics studio. Her studio was magical and alive with nature bursting out of every corner. The building was always pristine and the grounds surrounding the studio were always well taken care of. Her prints were abundant and color coordinated and the presses were always running nonstop. The downstairs was always a treat to walk through with wrapping paper, stationary, notebooks, cards and beautiful nature-scapes everywhere. I was so saddened to see what it has become. The parking lot was practically empty. There is rotting wood inside and outside. Weeds are overgrown everywhere. Her entryway has cracked sidewalks with caulking. The grounds are covered with dumpsters to the left of the building that look like they've been there for a while. Indoors the waterscapes are dirty and unkempt. The downstairs is closed off and you can no longer venture down there. They are also selling so many other things that are not Gwen Frostics. This is Gwen Frostics studio. The only things you should be selling in there are her works of art or else take her name off from above the door. The presses should be running all day. Whoever owns the property is not memorializing Gwen Frostic like she should be. They also have a brochure talking about Gwen's next chapter. It does not have a date on the brochure so I don't know if that brochure has just been sitting around for years saying that they are going to be renovating and reviving the studio. However, I read another review in 2022 and it sounded like the property was in pretty bad shape even then. Gwen Frostic left over $13 million to Western Michigan University. Maybe they should have an endowment fund to buy back her studio and bring it back to the glory that it once was.

翻译：从1986年到1993年，我们全家每年都会去Chimney Corners度假。如果不是去海滩的日子，我们就会前往镇上，参观格温·弗罗斯蒂克斯的工作室。她的工作室充满魔力，到处都洋溢着大自然的气息。整个建筑始终保持干净整洁，周围的庭院也打理得井然有序。她制作的版画数量众多且色彩协调，印刷机也一直在不停地运转着。楼下区域向来是个赏心悦目的地方——到处都是包装纸、文具、笔记本、贺卡，还有美丽的自然风景图案。看到它如今的模样，我真是难过至极。停车场几乎空无一人。建筑物内外的木结构都开始腐烂了，杂草也肆意生长。入口处的人行道出现裂缝，填缝剂也剥落了。大楼左侧的空地上堆满了垃圾桶，看起来已经在那里放了好一阵子了。室内的水景区域又脏又杂乱。楼下区域已被封闭，人们再也无法进入。他们还售卖着许多并非Gwen Frostics作品的其他商品。这里本应是Gwen Frostics的工作室，里面只应出售她的艺术作品；否则就该把门上的她的名字去掉。印刷机本应整天都在运转才对。如今的房产所有者并没有以恰当的方式缅怀Gwen Frostic。他们还有一本宣传册，上面谈到了Gwen接下来的计划。不过宣传册上并没有注明日期，所以我不知道这本宣传册是否多年来一直被搁置着，内容还是说他们打算对工作室进行翻修与复兴。不过，我读过2022年的一篇评论，里面提到当时那处房产的状况就已经相当糟糕了。Gwen Frostic留下了超过1300万美元的遗产给西密歇根大学。或许他们应该设立一个捐赠基金，用来买回她的工作室，让它重现往日的辉煌。
