劳伦斯•席勒摄影作品展The Photography of Lawrence Schiller
梦露与六十年代的美国Marilyn Monroe and America in the 1960s
2007年9月29日举行了一个记录了美国世界上最有影响的摄影——骚动的60年代展之一，并包含了美国性感偶像玛丽莲•梦露的镜头。这次展出的作品出自一个富有传奇色彩的摄影家、作家和导演——劳伦斯•席勒，这是唯一一个通过历史的观点来讲述1960年美国的展览，这将是首次在华举行的此类展览，同时将为中国人展出另一个美国，
这些展出的照片揭示了美国历史艰难时期的一面，一个及乐观开始却以混乱而结束，那是一个不安而又充满了探索的十年。玛丽莲•梦露为肯尼迪总统唱“生日快乐”歌；肯尼迪凝视着古巴装备了苏联的导弹并于次年被暗杀。卡修斯•克莱获得了重量级拳王的称号并把他的名字改成了穆罕默德•阿里。马丁•路德•金的梦想。反对战争的抗议者们在尤金•麦卡锡和波比•肯尼迪的身上看到了希望，但终因肯尼迪遇刺而破灭。这十年的时间经历了肯尼迪当选直至理查德•尼克松上台。贯穿于这混乱的十年当中，只要新闻的标题是关于又一事件发生了，就一定会有劳伦斯•席勒的名字出现。
在60年代，席勒先生的作品出现在全世界所有领先的出版社中。70年代中旬他又开始执笔写作，同时参与执导电影作品。他写的书而后排成的电影作品曾获得奥斯卡奖，七次电视艾美奖，和很多次成为《纽约时报》最畅销书及1次普利策奖。除此之外，席勒先生还获得了最负盛名的国家新闻摄影家协会颁发的奖项——格莱奖和天主教克里斯多佛奖，电影顾问奖和美国电影盛典奖。他的作品曾在林肯表演艺术中心和柏林电影节上展出。他还代表美国出席了莫斯科国际和平论坛。
席勒先生对中国的的兴趣始于2005年，当他第一次访问中国时。紧接着他就通过中国当代艺术家及他们父母亲的眼睛，开始记录了1933-2001年的中国现代历史。
One of the most significant photo exhibitions to document America in the turbulent 1960s, which also includes images of the American icon Marilyn Monroe, opens to the public on September 29th, 2007. The exhibition is an unequaled historical perspective of the 1960s in America as captured by the legendary photographer, writer and director Lawrence Schiller, and will bring to the Chinese people a perspective of America never exhibited before in China.
The photographs on display at the exhibition document one of the most difficult periods in America history, one that started with optimism and ended in chaos. It was 10 years of turmoil and exploration. Marilyn Monroe sang “Happy Birthday” to President Kennedy; Kennedy stared down the Russians over missiles in Cuba and was then assassinated the following year. Cassius Clay captured the heavy weight title and changed his name to Muhammad Ali. Martin Luther King, Jr., had a dream. The antiwar protestors saw hope in Eugene McCarthy and Bobby Kennedy, but hope was stopped when Kennedy was killed. The decade began with the election of John F. Kennedy and ended with Richard Nixon. Throughout this turbulent decade, whenever a headline making news event occurred, Lawrence Schiller was there.
In the 1960s, Mr. Schiller’s works appeared in leading publications throughout the world. During the mid 1970s he turned to writing and film directing. His books, films and collaborations have won an Academy Award (Oscar), 7 Television Emmys, numerous New York Times bestseller listings and a Pulitzer Prize. In addition, Mr. Schiller has been awarded the prestigious National Press Photographer’s Association Award, the Graflex Award, the Catholic Church’s Christopher Award, the Film Advisory Board Award and the USA Film Festival Award. His works have been exhibited at New York’s Lincoln Center, and the Berlin Film Festival. He was a representative from the United States to the Moscow International Peace Forum.
Mr. Schiller’s interest in China started in 2005 when he first visited and began to document China’s modern history from 1933 to 2001, as told through the eyes of China’s contemporary artists, and their fathers and mothers.
