ЧЕЛОВЕК СО СЛОМАННЫМ НОСОМ
Когда Огюст услышал, что скоро должна состояться выставка, он решил сделать бюст, вернее, голову и послать ее в Салон (The Salon). У него не было своей студии (a studio), не было денег на гипс и мрамор, он не мог позволить себе нанять натурщика, но мысль о том, что у него есть возможность принять участие в выставке, разжигала его воображение. Он был полон решимости преодолеть все трудности.
Огюст хотел вылепить красивую мужскую голову, но единственный, кто согласился позировать (to sit for) ему за чашку супа и стакан вина, был Биби, старый пьяница со сломанным носом. Вначале Биби показался Огюсту отвратительным, и ему было трудно сосредоточиться. Однако, после того как Огюст разорвал десятки набросков,- его замысел начал принимать определенные очертания. А как только он взял в руки глину, его уже нельзя было остановить. Безобразие Биби, казалось, не имело больше значения. Огюст работал день и ночь; он потерял счет времени. Пока он работал, ничего другого для него не существовало.
За неделю до открытия выставки голова еще не была готова. И вдруг Биби исчез. Огюст был в отчаянии. Теперь, когда Огюсту осталось добавить только несколько завершающих штрихов, натурщик был ему особенно нужен. Огюст не хотел лепить голову по памяти, он боялся, что она станет фальшивой и сентиментальной. Но другого выбора у него не было, и Огюст продолжал работать.
Спустя несколько дней Биби появился в студни, но он был слишком пьян, чтобы позировать. Он только тупо смотрел на Огюста, пока тот пытался усадить его в угол и подпереть
273
мольбертом. Чтобы не дать ему уснуть, Огюст сварил кофе. Проглотив две чашки обжигающей жидкости, Биби оживился и сел прямо на стуле. "Это, возможно, продлится только несколько минут", - подумал Огюст. Он видел, что его опасения были правильны - ему не удалось схватить (to capture) то, что так поразило его в лице Биби. Он уничтожил все кроме подбородка и начал лепить все снова.
Когда выставка открылась, Огюст все еще переделывал голову "человека со сломанным носом".
