抗战期间,一代大师张善孖、徐悲鸿、张书旂等曾以不同身份出访海外,宣传中国的抗战,举办筹赈画展,支援国内抗战;同时传播中国文化,推进中外艺术交流和人民之间的友谊。他们的艺术才华、爱国主义和国际主义精神,曾深深感动所到国家上至国家领导人下至平民百姓的社会各界。各国民众也通过他们的艺术、艺术活动增进对中国的了解,加深对中国人民抗战事业的同情和支持。民族危难之际,他们的海外行旅不仅成为中国抗日战争和世界反法西斯战争中具有独特意义的一页,也是中国近现代美术史上不能忽略的篇章。 During the war of resistance against Japan, great masters like Zhang Shanxu, Xu Beihong and Zhang Shuqi visited China overseas in different capacities to promote China’s war of resistance against Japan and held a relief fundraising exhibition to support the domestic war of resistance. At the same time, it spread Chinese culture and promoted the exchange of Chinese and foreign art and the friendship among the people. Their artistic talent, their patriotism and their internationalism have deeply touched all sectors of society that have come from the country down to the national leaders and to the common people. People in all countries also enhanced their understanding of China through their artistic and artistic activities and deepened their sympathy and support for the cause of the Chinese people’s war of resistance against Japan. On the occasion of ethnic distress, their overseas trips have not only become a unique page in the Sino-Japanese War and the World Anti-Fascist War, they also can not be ignored in the history of modern Chinese art.
