Вустерский музей искусств

Вустерский музей искусств (англ. Worcester Art Museum, сокр. WAM) — художественный музей в США, находящийся в городе Вустер. Второе по размерам после Бостонского музея изящных искусств собрание изобразительного искусства в штате Массачусетс и всей Новой Англии. История музея Музей был организован в 1896 году по инициативе местного предпринимателя Стивена Солсбери, пожертвовавшего земельный участок на строительство здания, и ряда его друзей. В 1898 году он открылся для посетителей во вновь построенном здании. Первоначально собрание в основном состояло из гипсовых копий античной и средневековой скульптуры, а также коллекции японской гравюры в 5000 экземпляров, в 1905 году после смерти Солсбери оно пополнилось его коллекцией, включавшей в основном американскую живопись. В то же время в дальнейшем Вустерский музей значительно пополнил свои коллекции благодаря разумной фондовой политике. Так, это был первый музей в США, приобретавший работы Моне и Гогена. В 1930-е годы наряду с Лувром, Дамбартон-Окс, Балтиморским музеем изящных искусств и Принстонским университетом Вустерский музей стал одним из организаторов раскопок древней Антиохии, в результате чего в его коллекцию поступил ряд мозаик. Тогда же была приобретена и перевезена в США, где пристроена к основному зданию музея, часовня бенедиктинского аббатства Сен-Жан близ Пуатье во Франции, построенная в XII веке. В 1972 году из музея были похищены две работы Гогена, а также картины Пикассо и Рембрандта, однако кража была раскрыта, и картины возвращены в экспозицию. Собрание музея В фондах музея, помимо античной мозаики и скульптуры, полнее всего представлено искусство импрессионистов и постимпрессионистов, в том числе Моне, Ренуара, Гогена, Сезанна, Ван Гога, Пикассо, а также американская живопись (работы Гилберта Стюарта, Томаса Коула, Уинслоу Хомера, Джона Сарджента, Джорджа Беллоуза) и английская живопись (в том числе «Шахматисты» Джеймса Норткота). Из более ранней живописи музей обладает произведениями Эль Греко и Рембрандта; живопись XX века представлена в том числе Василием Кандинским, Францем Клайном и Джексоном Поллоком. Также хранится большая коллекция японской гравюры. Примечания Ссылки Сайт музея
Вустерський музей мистецтв

Вустерський музей мистецтв (англ. Worcester Art Museum) — художній музей в місті Вустер (США). Друга за розмірами після Бостонського художнього музею колекція образотворчого мистецтва в штаті Массачусетс та всієї Новій Англії. Історія музею Музей було засновано 1896 року з ініціативи місцевого підприємця Стівена Солсбері, який пожертвував земельну ділянку на спорудження будівлі, та деяких його друзів. 1898 року музей відкрився для відвідувачів у новозбудованому приміщенні. Спочатку зібрання переважно складалося з гіпсових копій античної та середньовічної скульптури, а також колекції японської гравюри (5000 примірників). 1905 року після смерті Солсбері фонди музею поповнилися його приватною колекцією, яка включала переважно американський живопис. Згодом Вустерський музей значно поповнив свої колекції завдяки продуманій фондовій політиці. Це був перший музей в США, де з'явилися полотна Моне та Гогена. В 1930-і роки поряд з Лувром, Дамбартон-Окс, Балтиморським музеєм мистецтв та Принстонським університетом Вустерський музей став одним з організаторів розкопок стародавньої Антіохії, завдяки чому в його колекцію надійшло декілька мозаїк. Тоді ж була придбана та перевезена до США ціла каплиця бенедиктинського абатства Сен-Жан поблизу Пуатьє в Франції, побудована в XII столітті. 1972 року з музею було викрадено дві роботи Гогена, а також картини Пікассо та Рембрандта, проте злодіїв та вкрадені картини було знайдено, й всі вкрадені твори мистецтва повернулися в експозицію. Зібрання музею Нині у фондах музею, крім античної мозаїки та скульптури, найповніше представлене мистецтво імпресіоністів та постімпресіоністів, зокрема твори таких митциів, як: Клод Моне, П'єр-Огюст Ренуар, Поль Ґоґен, Поль Сезанн, Вінсент ван Гог, Пабло Пікассо. З більш раннього живопису музей має твори Ель Греко та Рембрандта. Американський живопис представлений, зокрема, роботами Гілберта Стюарта, Коула, Гомера, Сарджента, Беллоуза. Живопис XX століття представлений зокрема Кандінським, Клайном та Поллоком. Також зберігається велика колекція японської гравюри.

Cataumet Schoolhouse

The Cataumet Schoolhouse is a historic school building at 1200 County Road in Bourne, Massachusetts. Built in 1894, it served the town as a schoolhouse until 1934, and then as a community center until 1960. It is a well-preserved example of a 19th-century one-room schoolhouse, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019. Description and history The Cataumet School is set on the west side of County Road in Bourne's southern Cataumet neighborhood. It is set near the back of a .75-acre (0.30 ha) lot on the west side of the road, between Depot Road and Swan Circle. It is a single-story wood frame structure, with a gabled roof and wooden shingled exterior. The building corners have Greek Revival pilasters, with an entablature extending along the sides. The front facade has a pair of symmetrically placed entrances, each sheltered by a shed-roof hood supported by Victorian brackets. A single window occupies the gable end above the entrances. A small belfry rises above the roof, with square corner posts supporting a short spire. The interior of the building retains its original form, with a pair of entry vestibules (one each for boys and girls), and a large classroom with original chalkboards, desks, and finishes. The town of Bourne was incorporated out of Sandwich in 1884. The new town built schoolhouses throughout its villages in the following years, with this schoolhouse, built in 1894, the second-last to be built. It was built on the site of an older schoolhouse erected by the town of Sandwich in 1864. In the first quarter of the 20th century, the town began consolidating its district schools, and this one was closed in 1930. Most of its district schools were sold or repurposed; the Cataumet Schoolhouse and the Bournedale Village School are the only schoolhouses still owned by the town. It was built by James West, a nearby resident, for $1,200. Gallery photos are from 2003 during the peak of renovation.

Make Way for Ducklings (sculpture)

Make Way for Ducklings is a sculpture by Nancy Schön, which recreates the duck family in Robert McCloskey's children's classic Make Way for Ducklings. It is located in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. The original set of bronze statues was installed in the Boston Public Garden in 1987, and a copy was installed in Moscow at Novodevichy Park in 1991. Boston Make Way for Ducklings is installed in Boston Public Garden. The tallest statue stands only 38 inches (97 cm) tall, and the caravan of bronze ducks set in Boston cobblestone spans 35 feet (10.67 m) from front to back. The statue, installed October 4, 1987, was a tribute to Robert McCloskey "whose story ... has made the Boston Public Garden familiar to children throughout the world." The Make Way for Ducklings sculpture is routinely dressed in outfits throughout the year, for various Boston sports teams, for events such as the Boston Marathon, and for holidays such as Mother's Day. The work was surveyed by the Smithsonian Institution's "Save Outdoor Sculpture!" program in 1997. Moscow A sculpture, similar to the original set in the Boston Public Garden, was erected in Novodevichy Park in Moscow as part of the START Treaty by Acton, Massachusetts landscape and construction company Capizzi & Co. Inc. on July 30, 1991. The equipment, statues, cobblestones, and workers were all flown by the US Air Force in a C-5 containing the heavy equipment, diesel fuel, and other assorted tools they would need. The individual statues, which were in total length, 40 feet (12 m) long, were presented by United States First Lady Barbara Bush to Russian First Lady Raisa Gorbachev as a gift to the children of the Soviet Union. Four of the ducks were stolen, one in 1991 and three in February 2000. Thieves hoping to sell the ducks as scrap metal cut the statues off at the legs. The ducks were replaced in September 2000 at a rededication ceremony attended by former President of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev.

Make Way for Ducklings

Make Way for Ducklingss é uma escultura de Nancy Schön, que recria a família de patos do clássico infantil de Robert McCloskey, Make Way for Ducklings. O conjunto original de estátuas de bronze foi instalado no Parque Público de Boston em 1987, e uma cópia foi instalada em Moscou, no Convento de Novodevichy, em 1991. Boston Abra Caminho para os Patinhos está instalada no Parque Público de Boston. A estátua mais alta tem apenas 97 cm de altura, e a caravana de patos de bronze assentados em paralelepípedos de Boston se estende por 10,67 m de frente para trás. A estátua, instalada em 4 de outubro de 1987, foi um tributo a Robert McCloskey “cuja história ... tornou o Boston Public Garden familiar para as crianças do mundo todo”. A escultura Abra Caminho para os Patinhos é rotineiramente vestida com roupas durante todo o ano, para várias equipes esportivas de Boston, para eventos como a Maratona de Boston e para feriados como o Dia das Mães. Moscou Uma escultura, semelhante ao conjunto original no Parque Público de Boston, foi erguida no Convento de Novodevichy em Moscou, como parte do Tratado de Redução de Armas Estratégicas pela empresa de paisagismo e construção Capizzi & Co. Inc., em 30 de julho de 1991. O equipamento, as estátuas, os paralelepípedos e os trabalhadores foram transportados pela Força Aérea dos EUA em um C-5 com o equipamento pesado, o combustível diesel e outras ferramentas variadas que seriam necessárias. As estátuas individuais, que tinham um comprimento total de 12 metros, foram apresentadas pela Primeira-dama dos Estados Unidos, Barbara Bush, à primeira-dama russa, Raíssa Gorbachova, como um presente para as crianças da então União Soviética. Quatro dos patos foram roubados, um em 1991 e três em fevereiro de 2000. Os ladrões, na esperança de vender os patos como sucata, cortaram as estátuas nas pernas. Os patos foram substituídos em setembro de 2000, em uma cerimônia de rededicação com a presença do ex-presidente da União Soviética, Mikhail Gorbatchov. Referências
Middle Cemetery

The Middle Cemetery is an historic cemetery on Main Street in southern Lancaster, Massachusetts. Established in 1798, it is the town's third oldest cemetery, with active burials taking place until 1969. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019. Description and history Lancaster's Middle Cemetery is located south of the town's current village center, on the east side of Main Street (Massachusetts Route 70), south of the Nashua River. It occupies a roughly rectangular lot about 1.5 acres (0.61 ha) in size, fronted by a low stone retaining wall and fringed by woodlands, fields, and a railroad right-of-way to its east. Two entrances in the wall provide access, marked by granite posts, and vehicular circulation within the cemetery is provided by unpaved tracks. Burials in the cemetery include descendants of many of the town's early settlers (who are themselves mostly interred in the nearby Old Settlers' Burying Ground), and the site of Lancaster's first and second meeting houses is marked near its northeast corner. Lancaster was founded in 1643, and originally included land now part of several surrounding towns. Its first meeting house was built on this parcel in 1657; it was burned (along with all the other buildings in the town) in a 1675 Native American attack in King Philip's War. The second meeting house, built on the same site, was also burned by Natives, in 1704. The town center was then moved north to its present location. This site remained otherwise vacant until 1798, when the town acquired one acre for use as a cemetery, its first two cemeteries nearing capacity. Another half acre was acquired in 1842. The last known burial took place here in 1969. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Worcester County, Massachusetts References
Old Settlers' Burying Ground

The Old Settlers' Burying Ground is an historic cemetery off Main Street in southern Lancaster, Massachusetts. Established by 1674, it is the town's oldest formal cemetery, its burials including family members of many early settlers. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019. Description and history Lancaster's Old Settlers' Burying Ground is located south of the town's current village center, on the east side of Main Street (Massachusetts Route 70), south of the Nashua River. It occupies about 1.5 acres (0.61 ha), located at some distance from the roadway, between local railroad tracks and the Nashua River on an elongated rise largely surrounded by wetlands. Its accessible either via the eastern end of the town's Middle Cemetery, or via an unpaved cart track roughly paralleling the river north of that cemetery. The cemetery's layout is informal, with remnants of a fence marking its perimeter. Its oldest markers exhibit crude carving, and the oldest identifiable burial is the grave of Dorothy Prescott, who died in 1674. Lancaster was founded in 1643, and originally included land now part of several surrounding towns. Its first meeting house was built on what is now the Middle Cemetery, and land nearby was apparently set aside at an early date for a burying ground. Most early burials in the community are believed to have been informal, on family properties, and often without any formal markers. The town was devastated by a major attack in 1675, during King Philip's War. It is not known where the roughly 50 victims of the attack are buried; the town was abandoned for five years after the attack, and burials may have been either here or near where the victims were slain. The cemetery remained in use until the late 18th century, when Middle Cemetery was opened. In 1937, the locally prominent Thayer family gave additional land to this cemetery at its eastern end, and it is there where a number of its deceased are interred. The last burial in this section was in 2006. The cemetery has since suffered from neglect. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Worcester County, Massachusetts References
Prospect Hill Monument

The Prospect Hill Monument, also occasionally called the Prospect Hill Tower is a stone structure in Somerville, Massachusetts. It is a block away from the heart of Union Square, a neighborhood in Somerville. Its name is formally the Prospect Hill Memorial Flag Tower and Observatory. The tower is four stories tall and built out of iron and stone. The lower deck, outside of the first floor is open to the public and offers a panoramic view of Boston, Somerville, and Cambridge. The city of Somerville has offered tours of the tower. There is a tradition of annual flag-raising ceremonies involving American Revolutionary War reenactors that are held at Prospect Hill on New Year's Day. History Prospect Hill was the location of George Washington's command post and rebel fortifications during the Siege of Boston in the American Revolution. It also served as a training facility during the American Civil War. The tower monument was built in 1903. The plaque states that: From this aminence on January 1, 1776 The flag of the United Colonies Bearing thirteen stripes and the crosses of Saint George and Saint Andrew First waved defiance to a foe. Flag exhibit The monument flies the Continental Union Flag, the first American flag. On New Year's Day in 1776, Washington conducted a flag-raising ceremony to raise the morale of the men of the Continental Army. The standard account features the Continental Union Flag, although in 2006, Peter Ansoff advanced a theory that it was actually a British Union flag instead. Others, such as Byron DeLear, have argued in favour of the traditional version of events. References Bibliography External links Prospect Hill Tower Rehabilitation
Randall Library

The Randall Library is a public library at 19 Crescent Street in Stow, Massachusetts. In 1851 John Witt Randall, a notable naturalist, poet, and art collector, donated his collection of 700 books to form a library and left a bequest in his will to construct the current library building and to fund a permanent trust. The library is part of the Minuteman Library Network. Architecture The library building was designed by the architect George G. Adams in the Richardsonian Romanesque style and built in 1893 by the contractor, A. P. Powers. A large addition was built in 1976. In 2021, town voters passed a major renovation project to demolish and rebuild the 1976 addition and restore parts of the historic 1800s section of the library.

St. James Apartments

The St. James Apartments are a historic apartment house at 573 State Street & 5 Oak Street in Springfield, Massachusetts. Built in 1904, it is a good local example of Classical Revival architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020. Description and history The St. James Apartments are located just southeast of the extended former Springfield Armory grounds, at the southeast corner of State Street and Oak Street. It is a four-story masonry structure, organized in a U shape with its main facade facing State Street and wings extending south. Both street-facing facades feature projecting rounded bays, with one at the street corner. Ground-floor windows are set in round-arch openings, while the second and third-floor windows have keystones of cast stone. Bands of cast stone and multicolored and projecting brick courses add interest to the facades, and a cornice separates the first and second floors. The interior houses eighteen units of varying size, retaining only a modest number of period features. The block was built in 1904 by Joseph Laliberte to a design by William B. Reid. Both Reid and Laliberte were Canadian immigrants resident in Holyoke, and the building appears to have been a speculative venture. Its construction is representative of the growth of the area's immigrant Canadian population in the city in the early 20th century. Its early residents were a mix of tradespeople and skilled craftsmen, including immigrants from Canada and Ireland. The building's interior underwent a major renovation in 1983.
