情態副詞

Most likely you've seen them at your local hair or nail salon, faded by time and years of sun damage.

你很可能在常去的髮廊或美甲店看過她們，隨著時間和多年日晒而褪色。

These are the Nagle women, paintings made by American artist Patrick Nagel that became icons in and of the 1980s.

這些就是 Nagle women，由美國藝術家 Patrick Nagel 所繪製，成為 80 年代的代表性圖像。

Nagel women usually have sleek black hair, paper white skin, bold red lipstick, and

Nagle women 通常有著俐落的黑髮、雪白的肌膚、大膽的紅脣，

a look of mystery, power and cool detachment.

以及一種神祕、權力與冷靜疏離的眼神。

Their angular faces are captured with black outlines and minimal detail in a graphic style that resembles digital vector art.

牠們稜角分明的臉龐，以黑色輪廓和極簡細節捕捉，呈現出類似數位 vector art 的 graphic style。

Before that was even possible, all these images were made by hand.

在那樣的技術還不可能實現之前，這些圖像全都是手工製作的。

A Vietnam vet, Nagle began his career as a freelance illustrator for companies and magazines.

Nagle 曾是越戰退伍軍人，他最初是位 freelance illustrator，為公司和雜誌工作。

But his break came when he landed a job with plain Playboy in 1975.

但他的突破是在 1975 年獲得了為 Playboy 工作的大好機會。

Nagel refined his trademark style and was exposed to a wider audience than he had been previously.

Nagel 磨練了他標誌性的風格，接觸到的觀眾也比以往任何時候都更廣泛。

Then in 1977, he hooked up with Carl Bornstein, who just launched a publishing company called Mirage Editions to champion the often neglected genre of poster art.

接著在 1977 年，他與 Carl Bornstein 合作，後者剛成立了一家名為 Mirage Editions 的出版公司，旨在推廣經常被忽視的 poster art 類型。

Borenstein had been in Europe admiring the work of Toulouse Lautrec and Pierre Bernard, Parisian poster artists of the late 19th century, and

Borenstein 曾到歐洲欣賞 19 世紀末巴黎 poster artists Toulouse Lautrec 和 Pierre Bernard 的作品，

came back to America looking for an artist of his own time when Nagel walked into his life.

然後回到美國尋找一位當代藝術家時，Nagel 就這樣走進了他的生活。

Nagel created several original works which were then made into a limited number of serigraphs or screen printed copies and sold.

Nagel 創作了幾幅原創作品，隨後製成了限量版的 serigraphs 或 screen printed 複製品並進行銷售。

The most popular of these were the Nagel women, and

they quickly got the attention of the art world.

她們很快就引起了藝術界的關注。

Meanwhile, the manager of the English New Wave band Duran Duran saw Naegle's work in Playboy and commissioned a picture for the COVID of their 1982 album Robin Rio, which became a smash hit in both the UK and then the US Bringing his art into the homes of millions around the world.

同時，英國新浪潮樂團 Duran Duran 的經紀人看到了 Naegle 在 Playboy 上的作品，並委託他為他們 1982 年的專輯 Robin Rio 的 COVID 創作了一張圖片，這張圖片在 UK 和 US 都大獲成功，將他的藝術帶入了全球數百萬人的家中。

Duran Duran is the quintessential 80s band, Rio, the quintessential 80s album.

Duran Duran 是 80 年代的代表性樂團，Rio 則是代表性的專輯。

And that helped to cement the Nagel woman as an emblem of the decade.

這也幫助鞏固了 Nagle women 作為那個時代的標誌。

As Elena Milley writes, this woman is sophisticated and self confident, a professional who is not afraid to be glamorous.

正如 Elena Milley 所寫，這位女性精緻而自信，是一位不害怕展現魅力的專業人士。

Like Warhol and Lichtenstein before him, Naegle bridged the gap between art and commerce, highbrow and low brow.

就像 Warhol 和 Lichtenstein 在他之前一樣，Naegle 成功地連接了藝術與商業、高雅與通俗的界線。

Like Lautrec and Bernard, he elevated the popular medium of posters while retaining their accessibility, their immediacy.

就像 Toulouse Lautrec 和 Pierre Bernard 一樣，他提升了海報這種大眾媒介的地位，同時保留了它們的親切感和即時性。

Day by day, little by little, Nagel removed details until he arrived at the fewest number of lines that would still capture the spirit of his models.

日復一日，一點一滴，Nagel 刪減細節，直到他找到能捕捉模特兒神韻的最少線條。

This technique, paired with his eye for graphic design, makes his work so engaging.

這種技巧，加上他對 graphic style 的敏銳度，讓他的作品如此引人入勝。

It's also, I think, why Nagel women, or crude imitations of them adorn the walls and windows so many salons.

我認為這也是為什麼 Nagle women，或是她們的粗糙模仿品，會裝飾著許多沙龍的牆壁和櫥窗。

In his absolutely essential book understanding comics, Scott McCloud explains why cartoons have the power to involve us so deeply.

在他極為重要的著作 understanding comics 中，Scott McCloud 解釋了為什麼卡通漫畫擁有如此深刻地吸引我們的力量。

You see, the farther you move along the spectrum of abstraction from photo to simple smiley face, the more people an image describes.

你看，當我們從寫實照片往卡通笑臉的抽象光譜移動時，一個圖像就能描述更多的人。

A photo can only really be one person, but two dots and a line?

照片只能真正代表一個人，但兩個點和一條線呢？

We spend our lives looking at other faces, but

我們花一輩子的時間看著別人的臉，但

aside from pictures and mirrors, we rarely see our own.

除了照片和鏡子，我們很少看到自己的臉。

Our mental image of ourselves isn't photo real.

我們對自己的心理影像並非寫實照片。

McLeod believes that this explains our fascination with cartoons.

McLeod 認為這解釋了我們對卡通的著迷。

When we see one, we fill in its blanks with ourselves.

當我們看到一個時，我們會用自己來填補它的空白。

Nagel's women, and men for that matter, are the perfect combination of abstract and specific.

Patrick Nagel 的女性，當然男性也是，是抽象與具體完美的結合。

They're cartoons that don't look cartoony or goofy.

他們是卡通，但看起來一點都不卡通或傻氣。

They give the impression of real people, chic, fashionable, independent people, but

他們給人真實、時髦、有個性、獨立的感覺，但是

still leave enough space for you to place yourself in them.

卻又留下了足夠的空間讓你把自己放進去。

For salons, Nagel women served as aspirational images, though it has to be said that these women all being of one complexion, it's likely they were only aspirational for a certain segment of the population.

對於沙龍來說，Patrick Nagel 的女性是令人嚮往的形象，雖然必須說，這些女性都只有一種膚色，所以可能只對特定族群有嚮往作用。

This speaks to the warped priorities of 1980s advertising and the 80s in general.

這反映了 1980 年代廣告和整個 80 年代扭曲的價值觀。

但這又是另一個影片要講的主題了。

Unfortunately for Nagel, he only got to enjoy a few years of success.

不幸的是，Patrick Nagel 只享受了幾年的成功時光。

Dying suddenly of a heart attack in 1984, age 39, he never became a household name, despite his work finding its way into so many households.

他在 1984 年因心臟病突然離世，享年 39 歲，雖然他的作品進入了許多家庭，但他本人卻沒有成為家喻戶曉的名字。

Four decades later, his icons still peer out the windows of hair and nail salons aplenty, faded ambassadors of cool for a bygone era.

四十年後的今天，他的標誌性女性形象依然出現在許多美髮和美甲沙龍的櫥窗裡，是那個逝去時代裡褪色的時尚大使。
