抗战时期苏联“中国艺术展览会”再考察

Chinese Art Exhibition in Soviet Union During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression

1940年1月,由中苏两国共同筹备的"中国艺术展览会"在莫斯科开幕。中央研究院、故宫博物院及中苏文化协会挑选中国历代艺术品赴苏参展,展会的筹备因中央研究院各方意见分歧而颇费周折。本次展览会所展出的中国古代及中国抗战艺术品在苏联各界引起了良好的社会反响,对于推动战时中苏艺术文化交流、扩大中国抗日战争的国际影响具有重要意义。苏德战争爆发后,"中国艺术展览会"被迫中断,在中苏关系渐趋冷淡的背景之下,中苏两国间就中国参展艺术品归国所开展的交涉活动也颇具意味。

The Chinese Art Exhibition held by China and the Soviet Union opened in Moscow in January 1940.The Academia Sinica,the Palace Museum and the Sino-Soviet Cultural Association selected Chinese ancient artworks through the ages for the exhibition while it was a complicated course because of differences in views in Academia Sinica.The Chinese ancient and anti-invasion artworks in the exhibition had created a sensation in all social circles of the Soviet Union,which was significant to promote the SinoSoviet art and culture exchange and the international influence of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.Due to the outbreak of the Soviet-German war in June 1941,the Chinese Art Exhibition was halted.With the cooling relationship between China and the Soviet Union,the diplomatic negotiations on the return of Chinese artworks in the exhibition were in a dilemma between the two countries.
