西班牙畫傢巴勃羅·畢加索以他的立體主義和超現實主義作品而聞名。不過近期一場畢加索的雕塑展在他的傢鄉西班牙馬拉加開幕。
Picasso may be better known for his Cubist and Surrealist paintings. But the artist was a prolific sculptor, producing around 700 works in his lifetime.
畢加索更為人所知的可能是他的立體主義和超現實主義繪畫。但除此之外，這位藝術傢還是一位多產的雕塑傢，一生共創作瞭約700件雕塑作品。
This exhibition, entitled ‘Picasso – Sculptor, Matter and Body’, brings together 61 sculptures he made between 1909 and 1964 – a span of more than 50 years.
這場名為《畢加索 — 雕塑傢、物質與身體》的展覽匯集瞭他在1909年至1964年間創作的61件雕塑，作品時間跨度超過50年。
Among the works on display are the Reclining Bather, made in plaster, and Woman With Vase – fashioned from bronze ovals. Other sculptures are made from what are known as found objects, everyday items Picasso put together to create his works.
這次展出的作品包括石膏制成的《浴者臥像（Reclining Bather）》和橢圓形青銅制成的《持花瓶的女人（Woman with Vase）》。其它雕塑的材料則來自 “現成物”，即畢加索為創造藝術品而改裝的日常物品。
The exhibition is the first of its kind in Spain to be devoted exclusively to Picasso’s sculpture.
這次展覽是西班牙首次專門展出畢加索的雕塑作品。
