【生活标签 30】旧金山印象派名作画展拾零

自6月中旬看了KTSF26台‘今夜有话要说’介绍巴黎美术馆来旧金山举办名作画展的一期专题，马上去Costco买了两场展出的票（其实是个voucher，需要网上或售票处redeem正式票）。第一场印象派画展从5月持续至9月，觉得时间尚早，抽屉里面一扔几乎淡忘，经知凡同学帖子的提醒猛然想起来再迟就不赶趟了，赶忙翻出来上网redeem，诸事不顺费尽周折（此处省略几近被redeem逼疯掉之过程300字），总算预订到周日4:30的场次，4:00开始进场。

凭以往的经验，吃罢午饭，2点出门，开车到捷运bart车站，中途换条线，到达downtown S.F.，再坐长长一路muni公交车到Golden Gate Park，找到de Young museum，已然接近4:30，够悬。

画展接近尾声，人们普遍抱着赶末班车的心理蜂拥而至，入口处大排长龙，壮观程度足够和Coach店媲美，隔几分钟放行几个。

进得门去，领过audio tour耳机，一幅幅名师大作逐一凑近仔细端详（外行一个，端详也端详不出个所以然），喜欢的大多是人物画，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。以一个外行的视角，感觉风景画相对逊色点，也有几幅喜欢的，如Red Roofs, Corner of the Village, Winter Effect by Camille Pissarro; The Moret Bridge by Alfred Sisley.





参观完毕，出口处买了本画册，一套明信片，两枚磁性书签，留做纪念。

出了博物馆，一路颠簸，回到家一看表7:30。除去1小时逗留馆内，其余全耗在了路上，米国当农民进趟城真不容易。这downtown S.F.又是陡坡又是单行道，咱这菜鸟车技只敢在穷乡僻壤撒撒欢。说起单行道，曾经不止一次迷里迷糊误入逆行，吓的灵魂出窍（还就奇了怪了，每每自己犯这等致命的错误从未被警察叔叔逮个正着长长记性）。久未乘坐公共交通，票价全线上涨，一趟下来车钱几乎抵得上了门票钱。8过，比起酒儿同学在北京为吃个20几块的甜品搭上100多块大洋存包打车，咱这行为还算make sense.

P.S. 乘车指南: bart Glen Park station下车，上到地面，换乘44号线muni直达de Young museum.

喜欢印象派的大多数作品。十九世纪好像是个盛产艺术家的年代。

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.
