The National Museum of the Republic of Tatarstan opens the exhibition "Bells of Hiroshima"
October 31, at 16.00, the exhibition "Bells of Hiroshima" opens at the National Museum of the Republic of Tatarstan
The new exhibition, organized as part of the events dedicated to the Year of Japan in Russia, will feature the works by Nadir Almeyev, created after the poems of poets from Hiroshima. People's Artist of the Republic of Tatarstan, Honored Art Worker of the Republic of Tatarstan Nadir Almeyev works in a rare and complex technique - he creates etchings that manage to convey the meaning and context of events using exceptional artistic means. There is no usual painting, there is no “classicism and naturalism”, but at the same time the master is completely able to convey his idea.
Olga Ulemnova, Ph.D., in her article on the series of etchings dedicated to Hiroshima by Nadir Almeyev, names them one of the most important works among the artist’s graphic works. “It expressed a true and keen sense of history, typical of Soviet artists of the postwar generation, who perceived the events of the war years indirectly - through fathers, mothers, older brothers and sisters, participants and eyewitnesses to both the hostilities and hard life in the rear. Therefore, the tragedy of the Japanese people, so distant both geographically and culturally, was so close to the artist and received such an emotional expression in his etchings. ”
The exhibition will be supplemented with photographs taken before the explosion in peacetime, which were specifically provided by the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum. Japanese lyrics of the tanka will be performed in Russian and Tatar languages. The translation into the Tatar language was made by the poet and translator Lenar Shaekh, laureate of the Musa Jalil Award and the Eurasian International Award.
Guests of the exhibition will find themselves in a unique space - the tragedy of Hiroshima is presented in three dimensions: rare photos of the city before the tragedy depicting life, the poetic component of the Japanese lyrics of the tanka will tell what eyewitnesses of the events felt, the etchings by Nadir Almeyev will give artistic depth and look from the painter .
The presentation will be attended by the author of etchings - artist Nadir Almeyev. The exhibition will run until November 12.
