I'd heard Zima announce the unveiling of his final work of art.

我听说了齐马宣布要公开他最后一件艺术品

Over the years I'd asked many times for interviews and was always rejected.

Now for whatever reason

现在不知出于何种原因

Zima Blue had requested to speak with me.

齐马·蓝竟然主动提出要和我见面

I couldn't decide whether the blue was a closer match to the sky or to the sea.

我无法分辨这种蓝到底更接近天空还是海洋

Neither really.

Zima Blue it was a precise thing.

Little is known about Zima's history.

人们对齐马的过去了解甚少

It was said that he started his art career in portraiture

据说他是从肖像画开始他的艺术生涯的

but for Zima the human form was too small a subject.

但对于齐马来说人类的轮廓实在太过于渺小

The search for deeper meaning caused him to look further...

对更深层意义的寻求使他的目光越来越长远...

to the cosmos itself.

That's how the mural work started.

所以他开始创作壁画

They were undeniably brilliant.

不可否认它们乃绝佳之作

One day Zima unveiled a mural that had something different about it.

In the middle of the canvas was a tiny blue square.

Over the next several decades

But always the shade of blue was the same.

但用的一直都是同一种蓝色

It was Zima Blue.

Before very long Zima unveiled the first of his entirely blue murals.

很久很久之前齐马公开了他第一幅全蓝壁画

It was considered by many to be as far as Zima could take things.

They couldn't have been more wrong.

When most people speak about his Blue Period

they mean the era of the truly huge murals...

but Zima was just getting started.

It was a certain level of spectacle that made Zima truly famous

接下来横空出世的奇观巨画使齐马真正地扬名立万

even to those with no interest in art.

就连那些对艺术毫无兴趣的人都知晓他的名字

But fame was never the point.

但名声从来都不是重点

In spite of all his success Zima was still dissatisfied

and what he did next was for many too extreme a sacrifice to make for art.

is that the cosmos was already speaking its own truth

far better than he ever could.
