  一直以来, 中国文化部和瓜亚萨明基金会有一个共同的愿望,就是为厄瓜多尔艺术家奥斯瓦尔多• 瓜亚萨明举办一个作品展。如今,这一愿望终于变成了现实,中国的美术评论家和市民们将有机会欣赏这位厄瓜多尔乃至整个拉丁美洲最具标志性的艺术家的作品。

  这一愿望的初衷要追溯到1960年。当时,瓜亚萨明受中国政府之邀来华进行一次文化交流访问,和他同时受邀的还有画家第欧根尼• 帕雷德斯,作家豪尔赫•伊卡萨,尼尔森• 伊斯杜皮楠 •巴斯和佩德罗 •豪尔赫• 维拉。

  此后,相关的倡议和努力一直没有停止,直至今日,这一愿望终于变成现实。

  瓜亚萨明先生及其作品所获得的最重要的荣誉,是1999年于古巴哈瓦那举行的第九届伊比利亚-美洲国家首脑会议中,应联合国教科文组织提出的唯一提案,宣布瓜亚萨明为“伊比利亚——美洲画家”。

  瓜亚萨明出生于1919年7月,逝世于1999年3月。在其丰富的创作生涯中,他始终致力于捍卫人权,揭露一群人通过战争、爆炸、独裁、镇压、监禁、谋杀等方式对另一群人所犯下的暴行,这些作品题材也深深地震撼和影响了世界各地的观众。

  瓜亚萨明大师曾说过:“我的绘画是为了使人伤痛,为了刺痛和敲醒人们的心灵。为了展现一群人为对抗另一群人所做的事情。”因此,他同时代的朋友、诺贝尔文学奖得主、智利诗人巴勃罗•聂鲁达在一次瓜亚萨明作品展中曾这样说道:“在我内心的圣徒列传中,他就是那个身经百战的圣战士,将全部的精力都投入到了自己的创作中。流行像浮云般从他的脑中掠过,从未使他屈服。我很荣幸地将这位深具启蒙意义的最重要的画家介绍给大家。虽然他的笔下描绘了末日般的景象,但我坚信他的作品世界将得以永存。在进入他的作品之前,我们一定要好好思考,因为从那里走出来并非易事。”

  事实上,每一次他作品的展出,都获得了公众和美术评论家的一致赞扬与追捧。

  我们曾在世界各地著名的博物馆中成功举办了两百多次瓜亚萨明大师的作品展,其中包括:俄罗斯圣彼得堡的东宫、美国纽约现代艺术博物馆、小皇宫美术馆和巴黎卢森堡宫、西班牙马德里的索菲亚皇后博物馆、国家图书馆和孔德杜克文化中心、墨西哥城、古巴哈瓦那和智利圣地亚哥的现代艺术博物馆、以及欧美几乎所有国家的首都。

  从早年起,瓜亚萨明就以其独特的艺术表现形式和支持人民抗争、捍卫弱者的崇高事业等题材而广受认可,他正直的品格也为他赢得了诸多荣誉,如:法国政府荣誉勋章(1984年)、西班牙巴塞罗那双年展(1955年)、巴西圣保罗双年展(1957年)以及墨西哥墨西哥城双年展(1970年)大奖、法国丹尼尔•密特朗基金会授予的纪念奖(1991年)等等。

  1976年,瓜亚萨明同家人一起创办了名为“瓜亚萨明基金会”的文化机构,将其所有的文化财产和作品赠与基金会,并陈列于基金会在首都基多为他建造的两座博物馆中:“人类的殿堂”和他晚年居住的“家”。

  随着时间的推移和频繁的往来,厄瓜多尔人民与中国人民之间的交流成为了增进友谊与合作的重要方式,我们将不遗余力地持续推进下去。

  感谢厄瓜多尔共和国政府、厄瓜多尔外交及移民部、厄瓜多尔文化及遗产部、厄瓜多尔共和国驻华使领馆的支持,感谢中国文化部、广东省文化厅、广东美术馆的协调和帮助,感谢厄瓜多尔驻华大使何塞•玛丽亚•博尔哈阁下、基金会荣誉会员玻利瓦尔•桑切斯•里瓦德内拉先生。正因为所有这些努力,这一铭记两国人民间兄弟友谊的展览才能变为现实。

The dream to present an exhibition of the Ecuadorian artist, Oswald Guyasamín, has been aimed for by the cultural authorities of the People’s Republic of China and the Guayasamín Foundation for a long time. Now that the conditions have finally become appropriate, the pictorial message of one of the most emblematic painters from Ecuador and Latin America can be admired and judged by the critics and people of China.

This dream started when in 1961, Guayasamín was invited by the Chinese Government for a visit of Cultural Exchange, along with Diógenes Paredes and the writers Jorge Icaza, Nelson Estupiñán Bass and Pedro Jorge Vera.

On several occasions and later opportunities, some initiatives had been pursued and only now are the circumstances leading to the actual event.

The most important recognized award to his artistic works and identity as a human being was when the IX Summit of Presidents and Heads of States, gathered in La Habana, Cuba, in 1999, attended to an original and unique request from the UNESCO and proclaimed ‘GUAYASAMIN, THE IBEROAMERICAN PAINTER’.

He was born in July, 1919, and passed away on March, 1999. His vast trajectory as a pictorial artist who defends the human species and condemns the cruelty that men commits against men through wars, bombings, dictatorships, imprisonment and murders, have made have assured that the overall themes he represented make a powerful impact on the spectator around the world.

Master Guayasamín used to say: ‘My paintings are made to hurt, to claw and impact the hearts of people. To show what Men do against other Men’. That is why his contemporary friend, the renowned writer and poet, Nobel Prize in Literature winner Pablo Neruda, stated in one of his exhibitions: ‘He is part of my list of militant saints, warriors who gamble everything to show everything in their paintings. Momentary fashions go over his head like little clouds, they never scare him. I present, and it is an honor for me to do so, this blossoming and essential painter, with assurance that his universe can hold itself even when it threatens us with a cosmic collapse. We need to think before going into his paintings, because it is not easy to go back.’

And the truth is, in each and every opportunity in which his works have been shown, the reaction of the public and art critics have been both of admiration and enthusiasm.

That is how it went in more than 200 international exhibitions, presented in famous museums such as L’Hermitage in St. Petersburg, Russia; the Museum of Modern Art in New York, EEUU; L’Petit Palace of Luxemburg in Paris, France; the Queen Sofia, The National Library and Conde Duque Museums in Madrid, Spain; the Modern Art Museums in Mexico City, La Habana and Santiago de Chile; among others in the most important Capital cities in all America and Europe.

From an early age, the innovations of having his own language and his sympathetic themes in support of people’s fights, as well as his adhesion on the most noble causes to defend the defenseless, are virtues that have been recognized with prizes such as The Legion of Honor, given by the French Government (1984); the Great Prize of the Biennial in Barcelona, Spain (1955), Sao Paulo, Brazil(1957) and Mexico City, Mexico (1970); the Memory Award, offered by the Danielle Mitterrand Foundation (1991), among others.

In 1976 he created, along with his family, the cultural institution denominated as Guayasamín Foundation, to which he donated all his paintings and cultural properties, and gave the mission of exhibit it in the two museums that he himself built in Quito: ‘The Chapel of Man’ and the ‘House’ where he lived the last few years of his life.

Overtime and approach of our people, the exchange between the Ecuadorian and Chinese nations has become a tool for brotherhood and cooperation that must be cultivated and enhanced in every opportunity.

By virtue of the predisposition of the Government of the Republic of Ecuador, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Human Mobility, the Ministry of Culture and Heritage, the Embassy to the People’s Republic of China and the Consulate General in Guangzhou; the Government of the People’s Republic of China; the Guangdong Provincial Department of Culture; the Guangdong Museum of Art; the Ambassador of Ecuador, Mr. José María Borja; the honor member of our Institution, Mr. Bolívar Sánchez Rivadeneira, it is that this exhibition is possible, a homage to the fraternal friendship between our two nations.
