The Kiss, by Gustav Klimt, is one of the most famous paintings of its time. Painted in 1907-08, the painting is of two lovers encircled in a golden background. With her flaming red hair and pale skin, the woman stands with her cheek turned upward anticipating a kiss from her lover. The painting is full of passion and almost feels as if it were alive.

Born near Vienna, Austria, in 1862, Klimt received a scholarship to an art school in his early teens. It was here that he polished his skills as an artist. After leaving school, he began taking jobs painting portraits and other works on commission. Over time, he became upset with the way the paying public viewed his talent, so he stopped taking commissions. Shortly after, Klimt started his own art movement. Known as the Vienna Secession, it would change the world of art in Austria. The Vienna Secession focused its attention on finding young, original artists and giving them a chance to explore and exhibit their craft. Klimt also worked on bringing artists and architects from foreign countries to help enrich the art scene in Vienna.

In the world of art, Klimt may have been held in high esteem, but privately, his character was less than admirable. It was known that Klimt viewed females as only a little better than objects. It is also said that he fathered up to 17 children with many of the models he used for his paintings. Like many artists, Klimt wasn’t honored as much in life as he has been since his death. His works may have been created a century ago, but their timeless beauty will live on forever.

新艺术派画家——克里姆特

　　古斯塔夫‧克里姆特的《吻》是那个年代最著名的画作之一。这幅画绘制于1907至1908年间，画中有一对被金色背景围绕的恋人。女子有一头火红的头发与白皙的肌肤，脸颊上仰，期待情人一亲芳泽。这幅画充满着热情，彷佛跃然纸上。

　　古斯塔夫‧克里姆特1862年出生于奥地利的维也纳，他十几岁就获得艺术学校的奖学金，并在此地琢磨自己的艺术技巧。离开学校后，他就开始接受委托，从事一些人物肖像及其他作品的画作。一阵子之后，他对付费的公众看待自己才气的态度深感不快，便停止接受委托。不久他便自创一股艺术风潮，即所谓的“维也纳分离派”，因此改变了奥地利的艺术世界。“维也纳分离派”着重在发掘年轻前卫的艺术家，给他们提供机会探索并展出自己的作品。克里姆特同时也从国外引进艺术家与建筑师，借此丰富维也纳的艺术内涵。

　　就艺术而言，克里姆特倍受崇敬，但就私底下的品德来看，其为人却让人不敢恭维。据知克里姆特视女性为无物，而且据说他与绘画时雇用的人体模特儿共生了十七个小孩。就像很多艺术家一样，克里姆特在世时受景仰的程度不如死后。虽然他的作品是一个世纪前的创作，但其永恒的美感却是永久不灭的。

Chicken Big!　　

Every day villagers of Lang Con Ca make their way to the market. As they travel along the road in this area of the central highlands of Vietnam, they see the great, concrete…chicken.

Many years ago, as the story goes, a young woman wanted to marry a man from a neighboring village. Now, at this point, the story is told in two different ways. Some say that the mans family demanded a dowry of a rare chicken. Others insist it was her own chief who refused to let her marry unless she brought him a chicken with nine spurs. Either way, her fiancé couldnt find one, so she went out to the forests to find this chicken. Sadly, the woman met her death during her quest. The statue is seen as a tribute to her devotion and love.

Following the Vietnam War, many Vietnamese settled in Lang Con Ca alongside the indigenous hill people, the Kho. The government erected the massive, concrete chicken as a lasting monument in this area in order to unite the two groups. However, common opinion asserts that the governments true motive for the gift was to encourage the Kho to make the area their permanent home. Traditionally slash-and-burn farmers, the nomadic Kho were blamed for destroying much of the forests of Vietnam.

With a unique history and an abundance of natural beauty, Vietnam is becoming a tourist attraction for those looking for somewhere out of the ordinary. Though not the Eiffel Tower or the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the great chicken is a monument worth checking out.

越南公鸡村

　　Lang Con Ca（公鸡村）的村民每天都会去市场。当他们在越南这个中央高原区往来时，他们都会看见一只巨大的水泥……鸡。

　　故事是这样的，很多年前，一位年轻女子想嫁给邻村的男子。接下来有两个版本。有些人说男子的家人要求一只“奇鸡”作嫁妆；另一些人则坚称是她的村长拒绝让她出嫁，除非她找到一只脚上有九个距的鸡。不管是哪个版本，她的未婚夫都找不到，于是她便自己深入林中寻找这只鸡。在寻找的途中她不幸身亡。这尊雕像被视为对她的奉献与爱情的推崇。

　　越战之后，很多越南人定居在公鸡村，和高山原住民哥贺族比邻而居。政府在此竖立这只巨大水泥公鸡雕像作为永久纪念碑，以融合这两个民族。然而，普遍认为政府此举的真正动机是鼓励哥贺族在此永久定居。哥贺族传统上是烧垦山林的游牧农夫，他们被认为是破坏越南广大森林的罪魁祸首。

　　越南拥有独特的历史和丰富的自然美景，渐渐成为另类旅行者的观光景点。大公鸡雕像虽然不是艾菲尔铁塔或比萨斜塔，但也值得一游。
