British artist LS Lowrys paintings of industrial, working-class Britain brought him popular fame in the UK. Yet his works have never been the subject of a solo exhibition abroad - until now.英国画家LS 劳里的画作描述了工业时代下的、工人阶级的英国，因此在英国名声大噪。然而，他的画作从来没有单独在国外展览，但如今不是了。LS Lowry, with his depictions of everyday northern life, is one of Britains best loved painters. Popular he may be, but since his death in 1976, there have been accusations that the British art establishment has turned its back on him, finding his subject matter too working class.LS 劳里的画作描述了北方民众的日常生活，他因此成为英国最受追捧的画家之一。尽管他为人喜爱，但在1976年去世后，就有传言称英国画界把他抛在脑后，称他的作品的“工人阶级”味道过了头。 大型美术馆若想庆祝他的作品，是要顶着公众的压力的，泰特博物馆去年办了一场劳里的美术展。但值得注意的是，即使对于这样一个现代英国艺术的标志性人物，他的个人展出也仅限于英国国内。但如今不是了。在中国东部的城市南京，劳里的组画正在展览进行时。Lowrys canvases depict a side of British life thats now gone. The one above, Mill Scene, from 1965, is reminiscent of many of his paintings, with its smoke stacks and hurrying crowds of workers.劳里的画作里所描述的那些英国人的生活景象已经远去。上边的一张图是米尔辛1965年的作品，让人想起了他许多的旧作，里边画着林立的烟囱和疾行的工人们。Lowrys subject matter may now be Britains past but it is, of course, very much a part of Chinas present day. This is a photograph of one of Beijings train stations ahead of Chinese New Year when millions of migrant workers flock away from their factory production lines and head home.如今看来，劳里的主题描述的是英国的过去，然而，当然了，很大程度上是中国的现在。这张图展示的是北京站以及成百万的外来务工人员在农历春节返乡的景象，他们从工厂的生产线里解放了，返乡了。The exhibition came about following the chance meeting of Xiao Lang, a Chinese art consultant, and Andrew Kalman.中国美术顾问的小浪和安德鲁卡曼偶遇使得画展得以成行。 |
