点评:This art museum showcases the private art collection of San Antonio heiress Marion McNay, the museum's founder, in her former mansion. I live in NYC, so I get my fill of art, but the collection here is beautifully curated. There is only one Alice Neel painting, for example, but it is an evocative portrait of a Black girl holding a blue-eyed doll. Paul Gauguin is represented by a bracing self-portrait and a Tahiti painting that features a young nun in her habit sitting amid the islanders that Gauguin is known for painting. There was other contemporary art by unfamiliar artists that was creative and thought-provoking. The museum has a peaceful courtyard in the center to rest your eyes and breathe. Don't miss the short video on the second floor about McNay's fascinating life (four husbands, no less!).
翻译:这座艺术博物馆展示了圣安东尼奥女继承人、博物馆创始人马里昂·麦克奈 (Marion McNay) 在其前宅邸中的私人艺术收藏。我住在纽约,所以我对艺术很感兴趣,但这里的收藏品精心策划。例如,只有一幅爱丽丝·尼尔的画,但它是一幅令人回味的黑人女孩抱着蓝眼睛洋娃娃的肖像。保罗·高更以一幅令人振奋的自画像和一幅塔希提岛画作为代表,画中描绘了一位身着僧袍的年轻修女坐在高更以绘画闻名的岛民中间。还有其他由不熟悉的艺术家创作的当代艺术作品富有创意且发人深省。博物馆的中心有一个宁静的庭院,供您休息和呼吸。不要错过二楼的短片,讲述麦克奈的精彩人生(四个丈夫,不能少!)。
