Marcel
Guguianu's speech at the opening of the World Bank Exibition
(excerpt)
Washington, 1996 January 18-th
„Cer îngaduinta
de a ma alatura oaspetilor de marca din Carpatii României,
concentateni din tara unde prietenia se consfinteste adesea cu daruri.
Astazi, este prilejul de a confirma acest obicei al poporului român
prin bucuria cu care oferim înaltului amfitrion al acestui
moment de cultura o lucrare din aceasta expozitie, lucrare ce reprezinta
o silueta feminina în bronz cu trup de pasare. Este vorba
de o legenda ce se refera la o fecioara de pe plaiurile Carpato-Danubiene
(România) care se înnamoreaza de Soare, bucurându-se
în diminetile când el rasare în aurora si se întristeaza
în amurg. Însa mama Soarelui Natura, nu îngaduie
acest amor îndraznet si, în obiceiul pamântului,
trimite blestem asupra copilei, transformând-o în pasare,
acea pasare ce în zilele noastre are zborul spre Soare, numindu-se
în graiul românesc Ciocârlia (Lia). Poeti si artisti
au rememorat în creatiile lor aceasta fantasma populara, ducând-o
la acel simbol caracteristic poporului român, cu aspiratii
la libertate, independenta, neutralitate. Se spun ca valoarea acestei
opere de arta, daca este valoare, creste dupa moartea artistului.
Dar sa nu va grabiti, caci oricum nu va va scoate dintr-un impas
financiar… Am oferit cu placere acest simbol al unui popor
ce traieste linistea muntilor si glasul apelor ce curg în
oceanele lumii, gânduri de întelegere între oameni”. |
