Allen Memorial Art Museum的点评
点评:Second visit to The Allen! This time I made a pit stop in Oberlin to visit the art museum to see their current exhibit Picturing Paris: Monet and the Modern City. Only three paintings, but two are on loan from museums in Europe. Plus an interesting story about Monet receiving permission from the Louvre to paint city views from an upper floor window. Kudos to the curators for this thoughtful and insightful exhibition. Plus bringing out the Monet Wisteria painting as well as mounting a gallery with works that add context to the Monet works. Definitely worth the visit!! I also was able to visit all the first floor galleries to see art from antiquity to the Renaissance to 20th-21st modern art. And you can't beat the Classical beauty of the museum itself inside and out, or the contemporary Robert Venturi addition! Don't forget to look up at the ceiling of the atrium too. Check out the ironwork by metalsmith artist Samuel Yellin. The Allen is a treasure!! And free admission to all.
翻译:第二次造访艾伦艺术博物馆!这次我特意在奥柏林稍作停留,参观了他们目前正在展出的“描绘巴黎:莫奈与现代城市”展览。展览只有三幅画作,其中两幅是从欧洲其他博物馆借来的。此外,展览中还讲述了一个有趣的故事:莫奈获得卢浮宫的许可,从楼上的窗户描绘城市景观。策展人为这场富有洞察力和深度的展览点赞。此外,展览还展出了莫奈的《紫藤》画作,并设立了一个画廊,展出的作品为莫奈的作品增添了背景。绝对值得一看!!我还参观了一层的所有画廊,欣赏了从古代到文艺复兴时期,再到20世纪和21世纪的现代艺术。博物馆内外都散发着无与伦比的古典美,以及罗伯特·文丘里的当代作品!别忘了抬头看看中庭的天花板。欣赏一下金属工匠塞缪尔·耶林的铁艺作品。艾伦艺术博物馆真是个宝藏!!而且免费入场。
