【生活標簽 30】舊金山印象派名作畫展拾零

自6月中旬看了KTSF26台‘今夜有話要說’介紹巴黎美術館來舊金山舉辦名作畫展的一期專題，馬上去Costco買了兩場展出的票（其實是個voucher，需要網上或售票處redeem正式票）。第一場印象派畫展從5月持續至9月，覺得時間尚早，抽屜裏麵一扔幾乎淡忘，經知凡同學帖子的提醒猛然想起來再遲就不趕趟了，趕忙翻出來上網redeem，諸事不順費盡周折（此處省略幾近被redeem逼瘋掉之過程300字），總算預訂到周日4:30的場次，4:00開始進場。

憑以往的經驗，吃罷午飯，2點出門，開車到捷運bart車站，中途換條線，到達downtown S.F.，再坐長長一路muni公交車到Golden Gate Park，找到de Young museum，已然接近4:30，夠懸。

畫展接近尾聲，人們普遍抱著趕末班車的心理蜂擁而至，入口處大排長龍，壯觀程度足夠和Coach店媲美，隔幾分鍾放行幾個。

進得門去，領過audio tour耳機，一幅幅名師大作逐一湊近仔細端詳（外行一個，端詳也端詳不出個所以然），喜歡的大多是人物畫，包括The Swing by Pierre-Auguste Renoir; Portrait of the Artist's Mother by James Abbott Mcneill Whistler; The Dancing Lesson by Edgar Degas; Birth of Venus by William-Adolphe Bouguereau等。以一個外行的視角，感覺風景畫相對遜色點，也有幾幅喜歡的，如Red Roofs, Corner of the Village, Winter Effect by Camille Pissarro; The Moret Bridge by Alfred Sisley.





參觀完畢，出口處買了本畫冊，一套明信片，兩枚磁性書簽，留做紀念。

出了博物館，一路顛簸，回到家一看表7:30。除去1小時逗留館內，其餘全耗在了路上，米國當農民進趟城真不容易。這downtown S.F.又是陡坡又是單行道，咱這菜鳥車技隻敢在窮鄉僻壤撒撒歡。說起單行道，曾經不止一次迷裏迷糊誤入逆行，嚇的靈魂出竅（還就奇了怪了，每每自己犯這等致命的錯誤從未被警察叔叔逮個正著長長記性）。久未乘坐公共交通，票價全線上漲，一趟下來車錢幾乎抵得上了門票錢。8過，比起酒兒同學在北京為吃個20幾塊的甜品搭上100多塊大洋存包打車，咱這行為還算make sense.

P.S. 乘車指南: bart Glen Park station下車，上到地麵，換乘44號線muni直達de Young museum.

喜歡印象派的大多數作品。十九世紀好像是個盛產藝術家的年代。

Masterpieces from the Musée d'Orsay: The Birth of Impressionism

The de Young is proud to be the only museum in the world to present two consecutive special exhibitions from the Musée d’Orsay in Paris. The first exhibition, Birth of Impressionism: Masterpieces from the Musée d’Orsay, debuts at the de Young on May 22 and runs through September 6, 2010.

Birth of Impressionism: Masterpieces from the Musée d’Orsay presents nearly 100 magnificent works by the famous masters who called France their home during the mid- to late-19th century and from whose midst arose one of the most original and recognizable of all artistic styles, Impressionism. The exhibition begins with paintings by the great academic artist Bouguereau and the arch-Realist Courbet, and includes American expatriate Whistler’s Arrangement in Gray and Black, known to many as “Whistler’s Mother.” Manet, Monet, Renoir, and Sisley are showcased with works dating from the 1860s through 1880s, along with a selection of Degas’ paintings that depict images of the ballet, the racetrack, and life in the Belle Époque.
