| The sculpture 'The Presidential Bust of Hillary
Rodham Clinton. |
A sculpture of Hillary Clinton was unveiled Wednesday at the Museum of
Sex in New York City. It's called a "presidential bust" of the Senator,
which seems to be an appropriate title.
Sculptor Daniel Edwards
created the artwork and hopes it will spark discussion about sex, politics
and celebrity.
Edwards, the artist who also created a life-size nude of Britney Spears
giving birth on a bear-skin rug, said he wanted to capture Clinton's age
and femininity in the sculpture.
Clinton's office had no immediate comment.
Edwards said his work features soft "presidential smile" and wrinkles
framing her eyes. A floral
pattern runs across her breasts, part of Edwards' effort to present
Clinton "as a woman -- not a covered up person, but as a woman."
"I didn't want to give her a face
lift or change her age," he said of his work.
"The key was to reveal her chest a little bit. She usually covers
herself up, but I don't think that's necessary."

本周三，希拉里·克林頓的雕像在紐約性博物館展出。這尊雕像有一個(gè)恰當(dāng)?shù)拿?，被稱(chēng)為希拉里的“總統(tǒng)半裸像”。（譯者注：目前，希拉里正在為2008年美國(guó)總統(tǒng)大選做準(zhǔn)備。）
這尊雕像出自雕塑家丹尼爾·愛(ài)德華之手，他希望這尊雕像能引起人們對(duì)性、政治以及社會(huì)名流的討論。
愛(ài)德華曾經(jīng)還塑造了一尊如真人大小的“小甜甜”布蘭妮的雕像，雕像中的布蘭妮赤身裸體，正躺在一張熊皮墊子上分娩。愛(ài)德華說(shuō)，他想在希拉里的這尊雕像中反映出她的年齡和女性氣質(zhì)。
目前，希拉里方面沒(méi)有立即做出回應(yīng)。
愛(ài)德華說(shuō)，這尊雕像刻畫(huà)出希拉里溫柔的“總統(tǒng)微笑”和她眼睛周?chē)陌櫦y。她的胸部上雕有花的圖案，愛(ài)德華制作此雕像的目的之一就是想將希拉里塑造為“一個(gè)純粹的女人，而不是一個(gè)被遮得嚴(yán)嚴(yán)實(shí)實(shí)的人?！?
他說(shuō)：“我沒(méi)有對(duì)她的面容進(jìn)行修整，也沒(méi)有改變她的年齡?！?
“關(guān)鍵是我將她的胸部露出來(lái)了一點(diǎn)。她總是穿得很‘嚴(yán)實(shí)’，但我認(rèn)為這沒(méi)有什么必要?！?BR>
