From Michelangelos to an Entire Alpine Hamlet, China Sets Out to Clone Western ...
Before long, China may have more Michelangelo s than Florence. Shanghai's Heng Yuan Xiang Art Museum has announced plans to replicate in bronze Michelangelo's Medici Tomb sculptures of "Day," "Night," "Twilight," and "Dawn" this August. Six sets of them, in fact.The plans come as part of the declaration of 2011 as the "Italian Year in China," which parallels Italy's own current "Chinese Culture Year." The concurrent celebrations are intended to spread cultural awareness, diplomatic partnership, and tourism among the two countries. (Okay, so mostly just tourism.) "Some Italians associate Chinese culture to immigrant restaurants but there's much more to this, in the same way as Italians are not just pizza," Mario Resca , director of the Italian Culture Ministry, told China Daily .
This isn't the first time the two countries have engaged in mutual, year-long celebration of one another. The inaugural festivities took pace in 2006 when Italy sent an identical bronze replica of Michelangelo's David to the Chinese port city of Ningbo in exchange for two stone lions. Now, the stakes are getting higher. What in the world will the Heng Yuan Xiang Art Museum do with six sets of Michelangelo statuary?
Though the Times of India suggests that the extra copies will be sold, museum spokesman Guo Jianchen did not disclose the sale price or the identity of potential buyers. While the large number of replicas seems even odder than their existence in the first place, the appearance of these Buonnaroti brothers and sisters is not all that unprecedented.
In the past few years, China has become infamous for the mass reproduction of western masterpieces, paying artists to recreate actual oil on canvas paintings stroke by stroke.
