G7 or Gi-otto? Just Bush it! 画于: 马那瓜(尼加拉瓜) Painted in: Managua (Nicaragua) 展览地点:美国迈阿密美洲博物馆个展(2009年6月12日至7月4日);拉丁裔艺术博物馆,美国波莫纳,个展(2009年8月5-29日)。 Exhibited at: Museum of the Americas, Miami, USA, Solo Exhibition (12 June - 4 July 2009); Latino Art Museum, Pomona, USA, Solo Exhibition (5-29 August 2009). 在中文版中,我的朋友张猛博士评论道: Gi-otto(意大利文是G8〈G7+苏联〉)使人想到意大利著名画家Giotto(乔托).图画的曲线与美国总统脸部很相似,“Bush it”与英文“Bullshit”同音,是胡说、废话的意思。细心观察者会想:到底是G7、G8和Bush一起是废话,还是图画本身就是废话呢? 又或者将著名画家Giotto与这幅画相提并论是否过分了些?由观者判断吧! 作者评论: Author's comment: Gi-otto ( in Italian can be read G8 or Giotto ) Years ago, translating from English into Chinese the title of this painting, my friend Dr. Zhang Meng added her comment, in the Chinese version of my website: “Gi-otto (Italian is G8 meaning G7 + Russia) reminds people of the famous Italian painter Giotto. The curve of the painting is very similar to the face of the American president. “Bush it” has the same pronunciation as the English “Bullshit”, which is nonsense. Careful observers will wonder: are the G7, G8 and Bush together bullshit, or is the picture itself bullshit? Or is it too much to compare the famous painter Giotto to this painting? Let the viewer judge!” |
