【尼克松图书博物馆里的世界10领袖】

(2015-07-10 15:13:41) 下一个




Portrait sculptures of Richard Nixon and Zhou Enlai  for a traveling exhibit;

Nixon and Chou
尼克松 尊敬 周恩来,把他与周毛打开的中美和世界新格局视为他一生最重要的杰作

这个本来用于巡回展出的 尼-周 雕塑是最先制作的
随后才有了 世界10领袖的群雕, 均是真人尺寸 青铜雕塑,栩栩如生。
 
ten portrait sculptures of world leaders who influenced President Nixon's life.

这10位领袖是 尼克松本人挑选和决定的,
因为他认为他们与自己进行了交往,对美国和世界产生了重大影响




尼克松图书馆的世界领袖厅里,共陈列着10位20世纪风云人物的塑像,其中包括
英国的丘吉尔、法国的戴高乐、苏联的勃烈日涅夫和赫鲁晓夫,
德国的阿登纳、以色列的梅厄夫人、埃及的萨达特和日本的吉田茂。
其他人均为站像,唯有毛泽东和周恩来是坐姿,放在前面最突出的位置。
由此看出中国在他心目中的位置,以及他如何尊崇毛泽东和周恩来。
 


有人询问过尼克松为何希望自己的博物馆中出现毛的铜像,
得到的回答是:
尼克松本人希望毛的铜像放在他的图书馆里 而且显要位置,
所以是老尼本人的决定,不是后人强加给他的
是因为想要在馆中摆放
“在他政治生涯当中所有打过交道的、可敬畏的国际人士”。
 
They are among 10 statues of former heads of state and government on display
in the library's World Leaders exhibit.
For nearly 20 years the likenesses of China's communist leaders
Mao Tse-tung and Chou En-lai have sat perfectly still in
the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum in Yorba Linda, Ca.
Others include
Soviet leaders Nikita Khrushchev and Leonid Brezhnev,
Egypt's Anwar Sadat and Israel's Golda Meir, and
France's Charles de Gaulle and Britain's Winston Churchill.

Nixon chose them before his $21-million privately funded library opened in 1990.



开馆仪式上 主人 尼克松和 另3位先后 美国总统


这组雕塑的设计和雕塑 由 爱思作坊制作
StudioEIS (pronounced "Studio Ice")
is a 
sculpture and design studio in BrooklynNew YorkUSA.
It specializes in "visual storytelling" — the production of figurative sculpture in 
bronze, stone,
and resin for narrative exhibitions at cultural institutions, museums, and corporations worldwide.

 

A quote from Nixon on a wall explains his selections:
"They are leaders who have made a difference.
Not because they wished it, but because they willed it."


馆内墙上尼克松的这句话 寓意隽永:

他们是有所作为的领袖,非由他们所欲  而工他们志在必得。


我喜欢老尼这句话。




The Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum is the presidential library 
and final resting place of 
Richard Milhous Nixon, the 37th President of the United States.
Located in 
Yorba Linda, California, the library is one of 13 administered
by the 
National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

From its original dedication in 1990 until becoming a federal facility on July 11, 2007,
the library and museum was operated by the private 
Richard Nixon Foundation and was
known as the 
Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace.
The 9-acre (3.6 ha) campus is located at 18001 Yorba Linda Boulevard in Yorba Linda
and incorporates the 
Richard Nixon Birthplace, a National Historic Landmark where
Nixon was born in 1913 and spent his childhood.
The facility is now jointly operated by NARA and the Richard Nixon Foundation.
