A Beautiful Collection of Sculpture and Paintings in a Lovely Setting
Albin Polasek Museum & Sculpture Gardens的点评
点评:My wife and I visited the Albin Polasek Museum recently. We had been wanting to visit for some time, but we hadn't made the time. We finally decided to visit and we enjoyed it quite well. If you like art, art history, architecture, visual art, sculpture, or Slavic history it will definitely interest you. There are many other reasons to go like the lovely views of the lake and gardens.
We took the tour of the house and enjoyed it a lot. The tour was about 30 to 40 minutes long. It was very informative and I learned a lot about the background, life, and art of Albin Polasek. Polasek was born in Moravia in what is today Czechia in 1879. He emigrated to the United States at 22 and at 37 headed the sculpture department at the Art Institute of Chicago, a role he masterfully filled for 30 years. Polasek retired at 70 years old in 1950 to Winter Park; his home became the museum. His sculptures and paintings are displayed throughout the house and gardens. They exhibit many artistic styles and are wonderful. They express his love for Slavic roots and for America. Some are Neo-classical in style and others have Art Deco themes.
I highly recommend a visit to the Albín Polasek Museum and Sculpture Gardens.
翻译:我和妻子最近参观了阿尔宾·波拉塞克博物馆。我们一直想去参观,但一直没有时间。我们最终决定去参观,而且玩得很开心。如果你喜欢艺术、艺术史、建筑、视觉艺术、雕塑或斯拉夫历史,你一定会对它感兴趣。还有很多其他理由值得去参观,比如湖泊和花园的美景。
我们参观了房子,玩得很开心。参观时间大约 30 到 40 分钟。参观非常丰富,我了解了很多关于阿尔宾·波拉塞克的背景、生活和艺术。波拉塞克于 1879 年出生在摩拉维亚,即今天的捷克。22 岁时,他移民到美国,37 岁时担任芝加哥艺术学院雕塑系主任,30 年来,他一直出色地担任这个职务。1950 年,70 岁的波拉塞克退休,搬到了温特帕克;他的家成了博物馆。他的雕塑和绘画遍布整个房子和花园。它们展现出多种艺术风格,非常精彩。它们表达了他对斯拉夫根源和美国的热爱。有些是新古典主义风格,有些是装饰艺术主题。
我强烈推荐参观 Albín Polasek 博物馆和雕塑花园。
