Picasso and the poet Max Jacob, down but not out in Paris, shared a bed in turn. Jacob slept at night while Picasso worked, and Picasso slept by day when Jacob worked as a novelty-shop clerk. On arising in the morning, Jacob often would have to walk on a floor carpeted with drawings. Later, Jacob's footprints had to be removed by art experts.
Albert Einstein, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for physics in 1921, was honored not for his famous theory of relativity published sixteen years earlier, but for his lesser-known work on the photoelectric effect.

毕加索和诗人雅科布在巴黎近郊轮流睡一张床。晚上雅科布睡觉,毕加索工作;白天毕加索睡觉,雅科布在一家玩具饰物商店当职员。雅科布早上起床时常常不得不走过铺满图画的房间。后来不得不请美术专家除掉雅科布留在一幅幅画上的脚印。
艾伯特•爱因斯坦于1921年被授予诺贝尔物理奖,但不是为了奖励他16年前发表的著名的相对论,而是为了不太为人所知的光电效应。 |
