5月23日,对我是一个特别难忘的日子。61年前的这一天,一篇影响半个世纪,影响两代人的重要讲话,在革命圣地延安发表。30年前,中国现代美术史上非常重要的两位画家——王式廓、董希文相继在苦难的岁月中不幸去世。董先生在与常年抑郁造成的癌症痛苦搏斗中走向永生,而王先生恰恰是在5.23这一天,悲壮地倒在画架旁,正像一位持枪的战士殉职在自己的哨位上——那是在河南巩县,在连续29天为农民兄弟画了70多幅作品之后,在完成—幅双人像的时刻。人们从身边遗物中找到的是创作笔记、手电筒、硝酸甘油和一本翻得很旧的《讲话》。
May 23 is an especially memorable day for me. On this day 61 years ago, an important speech affecting two generations in the past half century has been published in the sacred site of revolution in Yan’an. Thirty years ago, two very important painters in the history of Chinese modern art - Wang Fangxiao and Dong Xiwen died one after another in misery. Mr TUNG headed for eternal life in the fight against the pain of cancer caused by chronic depression, and on the very day 5.23 Mr Wang was tragically fallen beside the easel just as a gun-clad soldier died in his post - In Gong County, Henan Province, after drawing over 70 works for peasant brothers for 29 consecutive days, it was time to complete a double portrait. What people find from the relics around them are creative notes, flashlights, nitroglycerin and a very old “speech.”
