Now listen to part of a lecture in an Art History class.
請聽藝術史課上的部分內容。
All right, so let's consider the works of outsider artist Henry Dodger.
好了，我們來聊一聊非主流藝術家Henry Dodger的作品。
Dodger lived by himself in a tiny apartment in Chicago in the 1900s.
二十世紀初，Dodger獨自生活在芝加哥的一個小公寓里。
He had no friends and spent all his spare time there alone creating hundreds of paintings and drawings.
他沒有朋友，而且所有的空閑時間都待在那個小公寓里獨自一人創作著數百幅畫作。
He had never formally studied art and kept his work completely private,
他從沒正式學過畫畫，也從來沒有公開過他的作品，
so no one ever saw it or responded to it during his life time.
所以，他在世的時候沒有人看過或回應過他的作品。
And so, when you see Dodger's work you notice how unique it is.
正因如此，當你看到Dodger的作品時會發現它們是如此獨特。
It doesn't remind you of anything you've ever seen before. It's very much his own.
這種類型的作品之前從未出現在我們眼前。完全是他自己的創作。
For example, one piece, it's a water-color painting,
舉個例子來說，有一幅作品，一幅水彩畫，
in this piece he illustrates a story, about the adventure of seven children.
在這幅作品中，Dodger講述了一個關于七個孩子的冒險之旅的故事。
But see, Dodger had a really hard time drawing human figures.
不過事實上，畫人物形象對Dodger來說實在是件難事。
Yet he managed to come up with his own rather unique solution for the problem.
然而對于這個問題，他還是想到了一個獨具特色的解決方法。
He simply cut out pictures of children from newspapers and magazines
他直接從報紙和雜志上把孩子的照片剪下來，
and pasted them into his own painted illustrations of trees, flowers and grass.
然后把它們糊進了他畫的有樹、花和草的圖里。
The results look, um, a little strange.
成品看上去......有點奇怪。
Dodger's picture looks more cluttered, more crowded with details than the pictures of other artists,
Dodger的畫看上去比其他畫家的作品更加凌亂，細節更加豐富，
because its entire surface is painted and there are no spaces left empty.
因為畫的整個表面都涂上了顏料，沒有任何空白的地方。
It's also a lot longer than pictures of most other artists, about nine feet long.
他的畫也比大部分其他畫家的要長得多，大概有9英尺長。
