点评:What a truly fabulous gallery. Certainly the best in the Midlands that I've been to. Only 10 minutes off the M6 and also close to the station. Do visit.
An impressive permanent collection of beautiful art' Durer, Constable, Degas, Matisse, Monet, Picasso, Van Gogh, Freud and many Epstein sculptures, in an impressive modern building that is a joy to wander around. Interesting exhibitions, often with a local theme, as well.
My favourite was the Modiglaini, or perhaps the Durer sketches or was it Epstein's Madonna and Child but then I saw Sally Dunn's Madonna and child. So many things to enjoy.
Much of the permanent collection is the gift of Kathleen Garman and Sally Ryan: two impressive, talented, bold, and luckily wealthy women, who wanted great art to be available outside London. Thanks to them it is.
Kathleen wasn't just a benefactrix. She asked, perhaps insisted, that the art was displayed thematically not chronologically or by artist. A great, thought-provoking way to view art.
翻译:真是一个极棒的画廊!绝对是我去过的英格兰中部地区最好的画廊。它离M6高速公路仅10分钟车程,距离火车站也很近。一定要去看看哦。
馆内拥有大量精美的艺术品,包括丢勒、康斯特布尔、德加、马蒂斯、莫奈、毕加索、梵高的作品,还有众多爱泼斯坦创作的雕塑。整个画廊坐落在一座现代化的建筑中,漫步其中令人心旷神怡。此外,画廊还经常举办以当地文化为主题的有趣展览。
我最喜欢的是莫迪利亚尼的作品。又或者是丢勒的素描作品?或者是以色列的《圣母子》?不过后来我看到了莎莉·邓恩创作的《圣母子》。有太多值得欣赏的艺术品了。
馆内的许多永久藏品都是凯瑟琳·加曼和莎莉·瑞安捐赠的:这两位才华横溢、大胆自信且幸运地家境殷实的女性,希望让更多的人能在伦敦以外的地方欣赏到伟大的艺术作品。多亏了她们,如今这一切才得以实现。
凯瑟琳并不仅仅是一位慈善家。她要求——甚至可以说是坚持——这些艺术品应按主题来陈列,而非按时间顺序或艺术家分类。一种很棒且发人深省的欣赏艺术的方式。
