9 PostModern Appearances of the Mona Lisa:
Classic Subject Resurfaces in Urban Street Artworks

Da Vinci’s painting of the young woman has raised many questions over the years, such as, “Who was she?â€? and “What was she smiling about?â€? The mystery of the painting has inspired many artists duplicate Da Vinci’s masterpiece in many mediums.

Following are a few examples of Mona appearing in various works of graffiti artists.

蒙娜麗莎的九張後現代面孔

達芬奇的大作蒙娜麗莎的塗鴉現身於世界各地的大街小巷。

長久以來，這幅少婦肖像畫帶給了人們無數的疑問。比如：“。“何許人也？而“又爲何如此微笑？畫中的這些謎團激發了無數藝術家的創作火花，他們以各自的方式再現大師的傑作。

下面有幾個蒙娜麗莎出現在塗鴉藝術家筆下的例子。

The first picture shown here, a stenciled work depicting Mona in red, with a star on a necklace and a bottle in her hand, appeared in Russia. As with all graffiti, the interpretation of the piece is left up to the viewer. However, the red coloring and the star may be linked to the artist’s views on communism, as these are well-known symbols for the political system.

第一幅作品出現在俄羅斯，大紅色渲染的鋼印畫，蒙娜麗莎頸間掛着一個星型項鍊，右手握着個瓶子。對於所有的塗鴉來說，作品所演繹的概念在乎觀者。然而，因爲那扎眼的紅色及那顆星星爲該政體的顯著符號，或許它們與藝術家對於社會主義的看法相聯繫。

Mona has also appeared on a wall in Portugal, in another stenciled piece. Although the artwork carries no symbolic content, it may have been produced out of appreciation for Da Vinci’s work.

蒙娜麗莎也現身於葡萄牙的一面牆壁之上，同樣的鋼印風格作品，雖然沒有什麼象徵性的符號，那就姑且算作爲表達對達芬奇作品的崇拜而作吧。

The whereabouts of the following piece is unsure. This graffiti displays two separate styles, and it is thought that the eyes, nose and mouth were painted by a different artist to the one who painted the ears, hair, shoulders and wings.

這幅畫作的下落無從考證。塗鴉顯示出兩種剝離的風格，有人認爲，同她的耳朵、頭髮、肩膀和翅膀相比較，眼、鼻、口應是出自另一個畫家之手。

In a controversial piece appearing in England; Mona is depicted bending over and lifting up her skirt. This piece has been considered offensive by some, but as with a lot of graffiti art the artist challenges common public beliefs, in this case, the belief that the Mona Lisa figure is chaste and pure.

蒙娜麗莎正彎着腰回頭張望，撩起她的裙襬，裸體的下半身赫然眼前，這張賦有爭議的塗鴉出現在英格蘭。這被一些人看作是無禮而帶有冒犯之意的，不過很多塗鴉藝術家都喜歡挑戰公衆視點，比如蒙娜麗莎在人們心中樸素純潔的形象。

This artwork, in Porto, Portugal, shows Mona in a baseball cap and related attire. Perhaps a symbol of national pride?

蒙娜麗莎頭戴棒球帽，以一身運動裝站在葡萄牙的波爾圖街頭。莫非是爲了表現這個國家以此運動爲榮？

This stenciled piece appeared overnight, in Cardiff, England, before being painted over the next day.

在被塗掉的前夜，英格蘭卡迪夫的這幅鋼印畫曾曇花一現。

The painting of Mona, in New York, USA, may not be in existence anymore, as it was created at a construction site, and the area was in the process of being demolished when the photo was taken.

身處紐約的這位蒙娜麗莎或許已經不復存在，她被創作於一個建築工地上，當拍下這張照片的一刻，那塊土地正處於拆除的境地。

A stenciled artwork, in Bergen, Norway, shows Mona holding a brush and painting over herself. The artist, Dolk, called this piece “The Last Mona�. The motives of this piece are questionable. Is the artist stating that the Mona Lisa as a subject in modern art is no longer creative? Or perhaps that if Mona were alive today, she would not wish to be the focus of so much public scrutiny. The viewer must interpret the work for themselves.

一個舉着刷子往自己身上抹油漆的蒙娜麗莎現身於挪威的卑爾根，作者多克稱其爲“最後的蒙娜麗莎？”他的創作動機令人不解，是說將蒙娜麗莎作爲當代藝術的主題早已失去了新意？亦或是說倘若伊人仍在人世，大概不樂意成爲衆多公共監察的焦點？還是讓觀者們自己去體味好了。

Mona has appeared in London, in what seems to be a politically motivated artwork by the stencil artist Banksy. She is shown wielding a deadly weapon, yet still has her notably mysterious smile.

Many paintings gain popularity and then fall from the public eye. Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa has been an inspirational force for many artists, and it seems that she lives on, gaining immortality through the works of others, and always with her mysterious smile. The popularity of her image outlives the lifespan of the artworks in which she is depicted, as they are often destroyed during renovations or painted over.

班克西的這幅鋼印畫似乎帶有某些政治味道，蒙娜麗莎肩扛致命武器，同她那經典的神祕微笑一起現跡倫敦。

很多畫作在贏得世人的聲望後便匿跡與人們的視線中了，達芬奇的蒙娜麗莎則不盡然，她成爲了衆多藝術家的靈感源泉，在他們的作品中獲得了不朽，並似乎始終掛着那神祕的微笑活在人間。由於新作經常在革新或塗抹覆蓋中損毀，她在原作中的形象的壽命遠比那些改編作品更長更悠遠。
