2009 Lyceum Series - Celebrate our Natural World: Artists Who Are Inspired by the Environment
2009年落基山讲堂系列主题：“礼赞自然——环境孕育的艺术灵感”
Saturday, May 16, 7:00 p.m. - Celebrating Inspiration
5月16日（星期六）晚上7点：《灵感礼赞》专场
Thirty-year Estes Park resident and photographer, James Frank, will present a visual celebration of photographs at 7:00 p.m., Saturday, May 16, in the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center at Rocky Mountain National Park. The presentation is the outcome of decades of one photographer’s effort and experience in making memorable images of this beloved national park. Frank has come to discover that this accessible wilderness is a sensual treasure chest, a delight (and at times, challenge) for the senses, a resource of thought and a wellspring of inspiration, not only for artists or philosophers, but for everyone.
在落基山国家公园海狸草甸游客中心，旅居埃斯蒂斯公园三十载的摄影师詹姆斯·弗兰克将通过影像盛宴，展现其对这座国家公园数十载的深情记录。这位摄影家发现，这片触手可及的荒野既是感官的宝库——时而令人沉醉时而充满挑战，更是启迪思想的源泉，不仅滋养着艺术家与哲人，也抚慰着每位造访者的心灵。
Landscapes, skies, peaks, lakes, rivers, wildflowers and wildlife will all be featured. As an extra treat, photos of the park’s sister, Tatra National Park, shared by both Slovakia and Poland in eastern Europe, will be shown. Frank will describe the creation of his two recent books, co-authored with R. Paul Firnhaber, Magic in the Mountains: Estes Park, Colorado, and the soon-to-be-released Rocky Mountain National Park: Colorado’s Living Legacy. Join us in celebrating nature’s inspiration with this awe-inspiring display of image and word. Frank will show many of his favorite photographs, those which speak to the grandeur and subtlety of one of America’s most spectacular national parks.
风景、天空、山峰、湖泊、河流、野花以及野生动物都将成为展示的亮点。特别彩蛋环节将展示欧洲斯洛伐克与波兰交界处的"姐妹公园"——塔特拉国家公园的珍贵影像。弗兰克将分享其与作家保罗·菲尔纳伯合著的两部摄影集创作历程：已出版的《山峦魅影：科罗拉多州埃斯蒂斯公园》，以及即将面世的《落基山国家公园：科罗拉多的生态瑰宝》。让我们共同见证这场融合视觉震撼与文学诗意的自然礼赞，感受美国最壮丽国家公园的雄浑与精微。
