太行山下有一条地下河,万名群众在修一条30米深,100米长,头朝下的大坝,叫截潜流。--王世龙 河南 1974年
 


  从1949年到2008年,中国社会变革中的重大历史与日常细节只有中国人自己来看,才能看得分外真切。

  深谙摄影是历史真相“沉默见证人”的天性,怀揣着一种士大夫般“家国命运”的使命感,唯一一位获得普利策新闻奖的华裔记者、资深媒体人士刘香成先生集数年之艰辛努力,编著了《中国—— 一个国家的肖像》一书。他选择了88位摄影师——包括毛泽东、周恩来的私人摄影师,也有来自城市、乡村、军营、奥运第一现场的摄影记者——的作品,以十年为一个单元,完整梳理了从1949年到2008年六十年间中国社会的变革历程。随着图书在国际范围内的发行,今日美术馆邀请刘香成先生来馆策划同名展览,这是我们作为一所当代美术馆对这些摄影师、刘香成先生,以及中国历史的一次致敬。

  “那些不能忘记的过去,是未来最好的向导”,这一次,让我们跟随刘香成先生以及所有艺术家的视角,看大势中国的时代之精神与变革者之智慧。

  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.).
