(油画:Herbert Draper, 1863-1920, English Victorian Neoclassical Painter, 1909_Ulysses and the Sirens
德雷珀 英国维多利亚时期新古典主义画家,尤利西斯和塞壬,1909年绘制,现藏于英国京斯敦费伦斯美术馆)
In honor of Sea Monster Week and my mermaid-centric graphic novel, Sailor Twain, I thought I’d share some of my favorite Mermaids with you! There’s everything from the classic to the obscure below. Dive in!
很荣幸能够为每周海怪专栏撰文,同时为了庆祝我的新图画故事《Sailor Twain》上架,在这里与大家分享一些我最爱的美人鱼画作!这些作品中既有经典也有另类。请欣赏!
First off some classics. Herbert James Draper’s “Ulysses and the Sirens.” He really, really, really wanted to hear that song of theirs. But the diving down to his doom part, not so much.
先来些经典作品中的美人鱼。Herbert James Draper《尤利西斯和塞壬》(译注:出自奥德赛)。主人公确实非常非常愿意聆听女妖的歌声,但是那魅惑之音会将人拉入死亡的深渊,他又不得不拒绝这些美丽的人鱼。
Here’s the great Pre-Raphaelite painter Edward Burnes-Jones painted “Depths of the Sea” in 1887 (the year in which Sailor Twain unfolds.)
这是伟大的拉斐尔前派画家爱德华·伯恩·琼斯(Edward Burnes-Jones)的一副经典画作《海之深处》,本幅作品作于1887年,正是《Sailor Twain》故事开始的那一年。
Also from the same year (what is it with ’87 and sea maidens?) is Arnold Böcklin’s “Calm Sea.” I like her because she’s like big tuna, not exactly graceful or nubile.
同年(为何人鱼总是出现在87年),阿诺德·勃克林(Arnold Böcklin)完成了他的《静海》。这也是我非常喜爱的作品,因为本作中的人鱼并非一个优雅美丽的年轻女郎,而是一条肥大的金枪鱼。
With Marc Chagall’s “Sirène au poète” we have the mermaid’s other effect: the poet’s muse. She may be trouble, but she’s inspiring.
马克·夏加尔的《塞壬诗人》带来的却是人鱼的另一印象:缪斯——她在危险的边缘寻找着启发之光。
Norman Rockwell painted one too. If this one is a muse, she’s been snagged and crated, and is off to the fish market. Did Mr. Rockwell feel guilty of the same?
诺曼·洛克威尔同样创作过人鱼主题的作品。她也许正是缪斯的化身,却被渔人关进牢笼送往鱼市。不知洛克威尔先生在创作此副作品时有无相同的罪恶感。
There are countless mermaids in novels. One of my favorites is Gene Wolfe’s Seawrack in his Books of the Short Sun. Like my South in Sailor Twain, she has an unpronounceable name.
各种小说里出现过千千万万种人鱼。这只人鱼出自吉恩·沃尔夫的小说《矮日》,和我的《Sailor Twain》中的South一样,她也拥有一个念不出声的名字。
A little-know gem among B-movies, She Creatures is far and away my favorite mermaid movie. Rufus Sewell and Carla Gugino shine, it’s in 1887, and tightly plotted. Neither Disney nor Darryl Hannah can touch it.
B级片里的碧玉,《She Creatures》中亦有我喜爱的人鱼形象。鲁弗·西维尔Rufus Sewell和卡拉·古奇诺 Carla Gugino的组合为此片平添一分光彩。这个错综复杂的故事发生在1887年。无论是迪斯尼还是Darryl Hannah都休想染指其间。
The great picture book illustrator and comics author LeUyen Pham created this one called Shino.
希诺Shino诞生在勒乌耶LeUyen Pham的笔下,这位伟大的插画家及漫画家。
I have a terrible soft spot for Mike Mignola’s Hellboy. And he bashes a mean mermaid mama.
地狱男爵触到了我的内心深处。迈克·米格诺拉Mike Mignola风格下这个没有教养的人鱼大婶。
As I was serializing Sailor Twain as a webcomic, I regularly got fan art. This one puts me to shame and I love it—by Jake Wyatt:
《Sailor Twain》本是我在网站上连载的漫画,最近有人寄了一份同人作品。这张画让我有点自惭形秽,我喜欢这个作品,它的作者是Jake Wyatt。
