Legion of Honor
博物館在1924年時由Alma de Bretteville Spreckels 贈送給舊金山市民,以紀念在第一次世界大戰中不幸過世的加州士兵。中庭的雕像則是由著名的法國雕刻家Auguste Rodin所雕塑的"沉思者"。(Auguste Rodin也被視為現代雕刻之先驅)
The Legion of Honor was given to the people of San Francisco by Alma de Bretteville Spreckels on Armistic Day in 1924 to honor the Californians who died during World War I. At the museum entrance, in the Court of Honor, stands Auguste Rodin's "The Thinker." Auguste Rodin was a French sculptor who is generally considered the progenitor of modern sculpture.

這個美術館收藏許多14到20世紀的藝術作品 也有人說它是舊金山最漂亮的美術館 宮殿式的建築 外面有大型噴水池 還可以遠眺金門大橋
It's a beautiful museum with many fine art works with views over the Golden Gate Bridge. They have a rich collection of European painting masterworks from 14th through the 20th centuries, such as the pictures I took from the exhibition. Along with the paintings, they also exhibit the room of Louis XV, whose furniture was reputed to show us the luxury and elegance of the rococo style decorations.

個展:Aspects of Mount Fuji in Japanese Illustrated Books from the Arthur Tress Collection Reva and David Logan Gallery of Illustrated Books
September 11, 2010 - February 20, 2011
展出日本的版畫 及其製作過程
從前印刷沒有現在的便利 雕刻師傅為了套色 需要雕刻許多片木板 再把每一色印到紙上 變成一幅幅美麗的畫作
雖然很想拍下製作過程 但由於展場禁止攝影 只好作罷
I also went to this exhibition. It shows every process of woodcut print. If a picture has 6 colors, light blue, deep blue, yellow, brown, red and black, so that the artist makes 6 woodblocks to print it out. Every color needs a woodblock so that to finish a picture needs many woodblocks. None like the printing today, the artist has to carve every woodblock by hand, that is a huge work.
