点评:The Taos Art Museum, with its setting inside the home of Russian artist Nicolai Fechin, shocked and amazed us in several ways.
First off, the home itself was filled with intricate wood carvings of brilliant design and execution, a true wonder. Second, we were startled by the quality of paintings by an artist who was totally unknown to us -- Fechin -- despite our knowledge and experience in art. His portraiture, in particular, was a wonder.
Lastly, the combination of such an artful home and studio, plus the works of art displayed there, was so unlikely.
That's why it became one of our favorite discoveries during our four days visiting Taos.
P.S. The museum's gift shop was remarkably well-curated as well, full of various wonders in many mediums. We ended up buying a piece of pottery by a local artist there, even got to meet him when we picked it up the next day.
翻译:陶斯艺术博物馆坐落在俄罗斯艺术家尼古拉·费钦的故居内,它在很多方面都令我们感到震撼和惊叹。
首先,这栋房子本身就充满了设计精妙、工艺精湛的精美木雕,堪称真正的奇迹。其次,尽管我们对艺术有所了解和经验,但费钦这位我们完全不认识的艺术家的画作却如此精美,这让我们大吃一惊。尤其是他的肖像画,更是令人叹为观止。
最后,如此充满艺术气息的住宅和工作室,加上这里展出的众多艺术品,竟然能如此巧妙地融合在一起,实在令人难以置信。
正因如此,它成为了我们四天陶斯之旅中最令人惊喜的发现之一。
附:博物馆的礼品店也布置得非常精致,充满了各种材质的精美礼品。我们最终在那里买了一件当地艺术家的陶器,第二天取货时甚至还见到了他。
