Barbie's boyfriend, Ken, was introduced in 1961 and named after Barbara's brother. The real Ken, who died in 1994, was disgusted by the doll that made his family famous. "I don't want my children to play with it," he said in 1993.
American Gothic
Grant Wood instantly rose to fame in 1930 with his painting American Gothic, an often-copied interpretation of the solemn pride of American farmers. The painting shows a serious-looking man and a woman standing in front of a farmhouse. He was strongly influenced by medieval artists and inspired by the Gothic window of an old farmhouse, but the faces in his composition were what captured the world's attention.
1961年,芭比娃娃的男朋友面世,按芭芭拉的弟弟肯的名字命名。真正的肯于1994年去世。他對(duì)令自己全家名揚(yáng)天下的娃娃極為厭惡。他在1993年說:“我可不想讓我的孩子玩這洋娃娃?!?
《美國(guó)哥特人》
1930年,格蘭特?伍德因其畫作《美國(guó)哥特人》一舉成名。此畫體現(xiàn)了美國(guó)農(nóng)民莊嚴(yán)的自豪,常常被人復(fù)制。畫面展示了一位神色嚴(yán)肅的男子和一位女子站立在農(nóng)舍之前。伍德深受中世紀(jì)藝術(shù)家的影響,他的靈感來自于一所古老農(nóng)舍的哥特式窗戶,但最令世界注目的是畫中人物的臉。
