2月10日，80岁的美国汉斯・古根海姆老人来到南京展示他的收藏品。这套名为《战争的灾难》的作品共81幅，内容是有关拿破仑战争期间西班牙反抗法国侵略的。此前，汉斯的这套藏品只出过一次家门，去过一次波兰――一个二战时被纳粹德国疯狂杀戮过的国家。汉斯把戈雅藏品的第二次“见光”给了南京――这个在日本侵华战争时经历了大屠杀的城市。
这81幅如今市值至少在2000万美元以上的戈雅作品，已安全运抵南京博物院。和戈雅作品同时展出的，还有汉斯带来的世界战争地区和国家的儿童绘画作品，以及南京本地艺术家组织的南京儿童绘画作品。让这些儿童作品和戈雅一同出现，汉斯认为有着很特别的意义。
67th Anniversary of Nanjing Massacre
The 13th of this month marks the 67th anniversary of the
Nanjing Massacre. This year, people not only pay condolence to the victims of
the tragedy by visiting the Memorial Hall of the Victims, but also a special
painting exhibition held by the Nanjing Museum entitled"War and
Peace" which has been warmly welcomed.
As part of the exhibition, the 18th century Spanish maestro
Goya's drypoints named "The Disasters of War" has been showcased in
China for the first time.
Hans Guggenheim is the collector of the works. He says that
although the drypoints depict Spanish people fighting against Napoleon, and
have been finished more than 2 hundred years ago, they still arouse people's
shared love of peace and hatred of war.
"I am very happy to be able to show this Goya's
paintings, which show very depth of humanity together with the art of children
toward our future."
The whole set of dry points comprise 81 paintings, which are
worth more than 20 million US Dollars. And visitors, especially Nanjing
citizens, say they are deeply touched after seeing the exhibition.
"As a Nanjing citizen, I think this city bears a heavy
history. I sympathize with the theme of the paintings. By reproduction of war,
the painter shows people's call for peace."
Together with Goya's paintings, paintings by children living
in warring regions have also been showcased in the Nanjing Museum.
