太行山下有一條地下河，萬(wàn)名群眾在修一條30米深，100米長(zhǎng)，頭朝下的大壩，叫截潛流。--王世龍 河南 1974年
從1949年到2008年，中國(guó)社會(huì)變革中的重大歷史與日常細(xì)節(jié)只有中國(guó)人自己來(lái)看，才能看得分外真切。
深諳攝影是歷史真相“沉默見(jiàn)證人”的天性，懷揣著一種士大夫般“家國(guó)命運(yùn)”的使命感，唯一一位獲得普利策新聞獎(jiǎng)的華裔記者、資深媒體人士劉香成先生集數(shù)年之艱辛努力，編著了《中國(guó)—— 一個(gè)國(guó)家的肖像》一書(shū)。他選擇了88位攝影師——包括毛澤東、周恩來(lái)的私人攝影師，也有來(lái)自城市、鄉(xiāng)村、軍營(yíng)、奧運(yùn)第一現(xiàn)場(chǎng)的攝影記者——的作品，以十年為一個(gè)單元，完整梳理了從1949年到2008年六十年間中國(guó)社會(huì)的變革歷程。隨著圖書(shū)在國(guó)際范圍內(nèi)的發(fā)行，今日美術(shù)館邀請(qǐng)劉香成先生來(lái)館策劃同名展覽，這是我們作為一所當(dāng)代美術(shù)館對(duì)這些攝影師、劉香成先生，以及中國(guó)歷史的一次致敬。
“那些不能忘記的過(guò)去，是未來(lái)最好的向?qū)А保@一次，讓我們跟隨劉香成先生以及所有藝術(shù)家的視角，看大勢(shì)中國(guó)的時(shí)代之精神與變革者之智慧。
China, Portrait of a Country , was originally a book, bringing together a vast selection of images by Chinese photographers since 1949, and giving readers a visual journey across the great People’s Republic of China. The book maps out the remarkable road that China has traveled to rejoin the international community, and refine its relationship with its global trading partners and political sparring partners to become an irrefutable equal. The book is edited by the esteemed international photojournalist, the only Chinese winner of Pulitzer Prize, Liu Heung Shing. As a Chinese-American, he obtains view points both as an outsider and as an insider, and the combination of these two experiences, primarily visual but also mental perceptions of China domestically as well as externally, was the impetus behind the book. As well as distributing the book in an international arena, Today Art Museum is pleased to invite Liu to curate a photographic exhibition under the same title. With a great amount of research, more than 120 valuable photos by 88 Chinese photographers will be presented in the exhibition through the view of the curator. This collection of images shows how the Chinese people have blossomed in spite of enduring previous decades of extraordinary hardship. It is a visual chronicle of modern China since 1949. Liu Heung Shing has been a longtime Associated Press correspondent and Time magazine contributor. He was named as one of the 99 Most Important Photographers of the World by Paris Photo in 2005. Currently, he is the Senior Advisor to CAA (Creative Artists Agency, U.S.).
