For posts on all structures such as temples, churches and building I have come across, go here.
Prologue: A series that showcases the large statues, beautiful temples and churches I visit in my travels or I accidentally come across while taking an off-beaten path. And sometimes yes, I would include buildings and palaces too. Sometimes Museums get involved too.
The next museum we went to was Weir Farm National Historic Park. I was thinking this an art trail around the park, but the museum was houses inside the visitor center.
We did see the Caretaker’s house from outside before going to the visitor center. It preserves the life and work of Julian Alden Weir, leading figure in the American Impressionist movement. His home, studios and most part of the landscape is intact to make it a historic park. He experimented with printmaking, watercolor, pastels and oil paints. Some of the artwork we saw along with murals were (From L to R and Top to Bottom) – Caretaker’s home from outside; Mural with statement at the visitor center; Figure in standing (Weir did a full profile of his second wife Ella Baker Weir); Weir Studio by Mahori Young; Girl in Hat; An area which show how to make art in field; The visitor center; Another Mural with statement at the visitor center; We also saw a nice example on how to play with light; The famous Red Bridge (which incidentally does not be part of the landscape); On the Porch (the artist made this from a photograph, and it is unfinished).
