介绍（中）	马克斯·克林格出生于莱比锡一个富裕的显赫家庭，并在柏林的学院接受过培训，他是一位同样天赋异禀的画家、版画家和雕塑家。他以自然主义的比喻风格工作，并由此发展出一种意图具有争议性、效果怪异且在接受方面经常引起争议的艺术 Klinger创作了Galatea，当时他在德语国家被誉为最伟大的雕塑家之一。他最著名的是他用各种彩色大理石和青铜组装的复杂多色雕塑。坐在大理石宝座上的神话中的海洋女神和孩子是克林格唯一独立的银色雕塑。1906年，克林格在魏玛著名的德国当代艺术展上展示了《加拉忒亚》作为他的主要作品在凯旋中，克林格塑造的海洋女神加拉忒亚与偶像的原始光环产生了共鸣。克林格的同时代人对这个主题很熟悉，这是歌德对凯旋的加拉忒的著名描述，"像众神一样庄严，庄严不朽……"（浮士德二世，8387-90）。但克林格也借鉴了尼采和弗洛伊德心理学的当代哲学，创造了一个前所未有的描绘女神与一个男性孩子的结合，这些孩子共同代表了身体与心灵、女性与男性、性与心理之间的原型结合。
介绍（英）	Born in Leipzig to a wealthy prominent family, and trained at the academy in Berlin, Max Klinger was an equally gifted painter, printmaker, and sculptor. He worked in a naturalistic figurative style and from it developed an art that was polemical in intent, uncanny in effect, and often controversial in reception. Klinger created Galatea at the height of his artistic fame when he was celebrated in German speaking countries as one of their greatest sculptors. He was best known for his complex polychrome sculptures that were assembled from assorted colored marbles and bronze. The mythical sea-goddess and child seated on a marble throne is Klinger’s only independent figurative sculpture in silver. In 1906 Klinger presented Galatea as his principle work at the prestigious exhibition of German contemporary art in Weimar. Shown in triumph, Klinger’s figure of the sea-goddess Galatea resonates with the primal aura of an idol. The subject was familiar to Klinger’s contemporaries from Goethe’s famous description of triumphant Galatea, "Grave in aspect like the gods, in dignified immortality…" (Faust II, 8387-90). But Klinger also drew from the contemporary philosophy of Nietzsche and Freudian psychology to create an unprecedented depiction of the goddess enthroned with a male child who together represent the archetypal union between body and mind, female and male, sexuality and the psyche.
