也许你不认识画家蒙克,但你绝对不会不认识他的名画《呐喊》。很多人都以为《呐喊》中捂着耳朵的人是在尖叫,但他们都会错了画家的本意。 The figure in Edvard Munch's iconic artwork, "The Scream," is not actually screaming, as is widely assumed, the British Museum said on Wednesday. Instead, it is reacting to a scream. 大英博物馆20日称,爱德华·蒙克的经典画作《呐喊》中的那个人其实不是像人们普遍以为的在呐喊或尖叫,而是在对尖叫作出反应。 Munch made clear what was going on in an inscription on a rarely-seen black-and-white version of the image, which Munch annotated with the words "I felt the great scream throughout nature." 蒙克在一幅罕见的黑白版《呐喊》上题词道:“我感觉到大自然中处处都能听到大声尖叫”。这句话清楚表达了他的意图。 According to Giulia Bartrum, who is curating a Munch exhibition at the British Museum which features the black-and-white lithograph, this shows that the figure is hearing the scream rather than making it. 据大英博物馆蒙克画展的策展人朱莉亚·巴图鲁姆介绍,蒙克画展中即将展出的这个黑白版画表明,画中人是听到了尖叫,而不是在尖叫。 Munch, a Norwegian artist, finished the first painting in 1893, but made several more versions. 挪威艺术家蒙克于1893年完成了第一幅《呐喊》画作,但之后又创作了其他几个版本。 |
