It's sad to call this series off. Jaime, want to start a Monet series?

This year there is a big Rambrandt 400 year celebration going on in Amsterdam. Should have visited Rambrandt Museum, it is grand, but did not get enough time. My significant other is a fan of Van Gogh, so I spent most of my time in Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam a few weeks ago, just wanted to try my best to undersand him, this "him" refers to either Van Gogh or my sweetheart, I had to admit that I am not artistic enough, I think he is a fine artist, did a lot of fine work, I respect him a whole lot, his talent, his attitude, his hard work, his view of life, him as a person, just his artistic representation of objects is not my type, I like more brighter cleaner happier style, Van Gogh is too dark, too intense, especially in his early days, his later ones are better appreciated, of course, obviously his sunflowers, but overall, I am an old-school, impressionism is as far as I can go, post-impressionism like Van Gogh is a bit off track, then this Picasso, the whole world can love him, but me, incapable of appreciating his work, let alone his personality. To me art should be sane, beautiful, meaningful. Enjoy more tranditional paintings even better, those ones in Louvre are hearty, and those scuptures, oh, heavenly ......

No doubt, these work of Manet's and Yong Joon's and Jaime's, are definitely art.

在进行马奈系列艺术创作的过程中, 某些作品我没有收入系列中. 但是我们亲爱的勇俊的每一幅照片都是如此珍贵, 就象珍宝一样值得我们仔细品味, 因此我还是将它们贴出来, 取名为"未删减马奈"(呵呵,或者还叫什么呢?), 大家来当裁判吧......

Finally got around to translate this. Feel sorry for being so late. Feel relieved for finishing this. Feel more cultured after going through the learning during translation.

亲爱的姐妹们 …… 正如以前许诺的,我将以此最后一篇结束马奈系列.当A女士在前次的评论中探询有关”酒吧女郎”的油画时,她使这位Z女士得到了灵感,”让我们来以欣赏这样一幅如此非凡的油画来结束这个系列吧!”. 希望你们喜欢 ……


马奈的最后一幅名作”女神游乐厅酒吧” (又译 "恋人游乐园酒吧”) 于1882年完成, 他注入了动人和真诚的努力，作为他一生最终的重大声明。






这幅画的布景描绘了别致的女神游乐厅(恋人游乐园)，那是先锋派巴黎人在褪色肮脏的红色金色的装饰下跳舞交际的场所。我们的视觉焦点落在了酒吧女郎和一个超现实巨大的镜子上，镜子中反射出顾客熙熙攘攘的场面和被人忽视的现场娱乐表演（请注意在左上方杂技演员的绿袜子）。画家抓住了酒吧女郎忘却这个世界般的倦怠的表情和冷漠的凝视，忍受着（在右侧）男顾客令人讨厌的挑逗。马奈为我们女主人公的面部表情注入了无限的尊严和一种孤冷的情调，传达了一个自含自若的信息。他表现了现代时髦生活所具有的隐匿和孤寂，对光怪浮华的中产阶层上流社会无所反应的情绪。


这里值得一提的是马奈结合他对肖像画和静物写生的热爱，在这里创造了完美的平衡和协调，如果没有那些闪烁排列的酒瓶和水果盘的衬托，你能够想象“女神游乐厅酒吧”("恋人游乐园酒吧”)给人带来的视觉快感吗？


出于对马奈迷人的插图信件的纯粹倾慕和与我们亲爱的裴氏姐妹们共享对勇俊那种平静的爱的愿望，我开始了这一系列。但愿这可以作为对画家创新的思想，雅致的风格甚至他不妥协的生活的小小礼物。马奈对老式艺术圈子的挑战促使他脱离几世纪以来古老而传统的绘画手法，开拓了一个新的艺术运动。就象我们伟大的国王在亚洲引领韩流，以他神赐魅力的形象和精妙绝伦的演技，开拓了一个影响世界各地的亚洲文化潮流的新现象。多少温柔的心被唤醒，多少沉眠的情感被引爆，我们似乎有无尽的华丽词语，天堂般的艺术创作和音调优美的乐曲来赞美我们勇俊高尚的品格和杰出的成就。可谓前无古人，后无来者！请允许我最后一次以马奈再来试一次…….















感谢你们耐心地阅读整个系列，并同我分享你们宝贵的看法。你们的评论对我来说是如此的珍贵，我象读美丽的诗篇一样反复地阅读。让我们祝福勇俊永远安全，健康和快乐！

Jaime's Den - Manet Uncut

While AS Director's Cut is rolling out, Jaime gave us her Manet Uncut. They are so beautiful, Jaime, thank you so much for these artistic work.

Did our prince come into my mind while I was in Paris and Amsterdam? Remotely but surely, in the back of my mind though. Then the last day in Belgium, a familiar melody played in my mind, took me a while to recall what it was, guess after a few minutes of googling in my head, finally realized that it was the theme song of "Barefoot Youth", which I had 3 episodes yet to finish before I left for the trip. I still have not finished it yet - Haven't turned on the TV since I came back for a week. But I never forget to turn on this PC. Look what I've got here, such a wonderful treat. I love the first picture in this Manet Uncut, the color matching is perfect! And oh, my favorite Sympathy sunglasses photo of him, handsome! Actually I have to admit YJ is a king of eyeball pulling. He is shining in every picture, then Jaime did a nice job augmenting his beauty with Manet's harmanic drawings.

Along the way of creating the Manet artworks, there are certain ones which did not make it into the series. Since every picture of our dear Yong Joon is precious and like a treasure to savour on, so I’ll post them here and call it (haha, what else?) ‘Manet Uncut’, you’ll be the judge …..
