《阿美德·莫迪利阿尼》一文写于1958—1964年。莫迪利阿尼(1884—1920)是现代意大利著名的画家之一。他二十二岁时从故乡里富纳到了巴黎,一心钻研绘画。他在穷愁潦倒中度过了短暂的一生,死后他的绘画才逐渐得到高度评价。阿赫玛托娃这篇回忆录主要写他们两人成名前,在巴黎相会的片断,勾画出一位未来的美术大师早期的思想与生活的某些画面。这篇回忆录写得别有情趣,文字简练,涉及面广,内容跳跃性大;作者善于把问题点出来,但又不说透,给读者以咀嚼与回味的余地。本文译自列宁格勒出版社1976年出版的安娜·阿赫玛托娃《诗歌与散文》一书。 The text of “Amid Modigliani” was written in 1958-1964. Modigliani (1884-1920) is one of the most famous painters in modern Italy. At the age of twenty-two, he came to Paris from his native town, studying painting. He spent a brief lifetime in a poor life, and his paintings gradually gained a high opinion after his death. Akhmatova This memoir is mainly about the pieces they met in Paris before they became famous, and some pictures of the early thought and life of a future master of art are sketched out. This memoir is written in a very interesting, concise and extensive manner, with a wide range of content. The author is good at putting the problem out, but he does not say it thoroughly, leaving the reader more room for chewing and aftertaste. This article is translated from Anna Akhmatova’s book, Poetry and Prose, published by Leningrad Publishers in 1976.
