作品介绍

机器翻译:
艺术家从让-弗朗索瓦-米莱的画中想象出了天使夫妇。由于他的记忆,达利把这些人物画成了月光下安普尔丹平原上的古塔,这种气氛充满了阴森恐怖的史前品质。在他关于米勒作品的文章中,达利用一张明信片来说明这些鞠躬的人物如何让他想起他在加泰罗尼亚部分地区看到的石碑(menhirs)。

达利画的女性比男性略高,她的特征类似于螳螂。在分析这幅画的潜在含义时,达利认为女性不仅是主导者,而且对男性构成了性威胁,将她与雌性螳螂联系起来。这暗合了达利的论断,即米勒的画代表了性压抑、男性的恐惧和无能,在他的作品中,达利将19世纪流行的象征主义传统中的女性杀手更新到超现实主义的语境中,延伸出女性性感的隐含危险的信息。

原文:
The artist visualized the Angelus couple from the painting by Jean-François Millet. As a result of his memories, Dalí paints the figures as ancient towers on the moonlit Ampurdan plain, an atmosphere charged with an eerie, prehistoric quality. In his essay on Millet’s work, Dalí uses a postcard to illustrate how the bowing figures reminded him of the monoliths (menhirs) he saw in parts of Catalonia.

Dalí paints the female slightly taller than the male, with her features resembling a praying mantis. In his analysis of the painting’s latent meaning, Dalí felt that the female was not only the dominant partner, but also posed a sexual threat to the male, associating her with a female praying mantis. This alludes to Dalí’s assertion that Millet’s painting represents sexual repression, male fear and impotence, and in his work Dalí has updated the popular 19th century Symbolist tradition of the femme fatale into a Surrealist context, extending the message of the implicit dangers of female sensuality.
