Hardcover. Condition: Used - Very Good. Photographs by Robert Capa, Lois Conner, Stuart Franklin, Zhang Hai-er, Wu Jialin, Wang Jinsong, Hiroji Kubota, Sebastiao Salgado, Liu Heung Shing, and Others A stirring tribute to china's land and people, and a lasting vision of the country within. To commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Aperture is publishing Imaging China. This magnificent volume unfolds a series of in-depth portfolios by twenty of the most important Chinese and Western photographers of the era, conveying the extent of their involvement in politics, culture, and everyday life. Together with texts by leading thinkers, writings by the photographers, and selections of ancient and modern poetry, this collection offers profound insight into a country that has been closed to the West for more than half of its existence. Drawn to China by its dramatic upheavals and its rich cultural legacy, the world's greatest photographers offer thrilling proof of the power of photography to explore-and convey-the human experience. From France's Henri Cartier-Bresson, present at the creation of the Republic in 1949, to China's Liu Heung Shing, who chronicled a society in transition following the death of Mao Tse-tung, to Wu Jialin and Stuart Franklin working today, the image makers represented here have created visions of China as broad and diverse as the country and its society. Imaging China is an extraordinary visual exploration of an extraordinary place and time. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks. wrapped in complimentary Brodart dust jacket protector.…

Condition: as new. Göttingen : Steidl, 2019. Hardcover. Dustjacket. 286 pp. illustrations ((some color) ; 34 x 31 cm. - This book contains the two most important bodies of work by Pulitzer-Prize-winning photojournalist Liu Heung Shing: photos of the pivotal decades of Communism in China and Russia, made between 1976 and 2017. Adapting the phrase "alive in the bitter sea" from a Chinese proverb about perseverance in tumultuous times, A Life in a Sea of Red presents scenes of hope, hardship and change under and after Communist rule. Understanding the death of Mao Zedong in 1976 as the harbinger of change for China, Liu arrived in Beijing in 1978 to photograph the country at a moment of momentous transition for Time magazine. This he did in an empathetic, unfiltered manner beyond the visual narrative perpetuated by the Chinese government--from the withdrawal of Mao's portraits from the public realm, to the increase in free commercial, artistic and personal expression, to the 1989 violence on Tiananmen Square and, more recently, the rise of yuppies who show how China has recast Communism in a socialist-capitalist mold. In contrast, Liu's photos of Russia, taken between 1990 and 1993, document the collapse of a Communist state. The most enduring of these shows Mikhail Gorbachev throwing down the speech he delivered on 25 December 1991, announcing his resignation and signaling the end of the Soviet Union and Cold War. This photo, which embodies Liu's ability to convey complex narratives in a single frame, is from the series that was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in 1992. Condition : as new copy. ISBN 9783958295452.

hardcover. Condition: New. Prima edizione (First Edition). 195 fotografie di Liu Heung Shing. Testi di Pi Li, Geoff Raby, Christopher Phillips . Cm 32x30. pp. 288. . Nuovo (New). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . Questo libro contiene le opere più importanti del fotoreporter vincitore del Pulitzer Liu Heung Shing: le foto dei decenni cruciali del comunismo in Cina e in Russia, realizzate tra il 1976 e il 2017. Adattando la frase "vivo nel mare amaro" da un proverbio cinese sulla perseveranza in tempi tumultuosi, "Una vita in un mare rosso" presenta scene di speranza, difficoltà e cambiamento sotto e dopo il regime comunista.Avendo compreso che la morte di Mao Zedong nel 1976 era foriera di cambiamenti per la Cina, Liu arrivò a Pechino nel 1978 per fotografare il Paese in un momento di transizione epocale per la rivista Time. Lo ha fatto in modo empatico e senza filtri, al di là della narrazione visiva perpetuata dal governo cinese: dal ritiro dei ritratti di Mao dalla sfera pubblica, all'aumento della libera espressione commerciale, artistica e personale, fino alle violenze di piazza Tienanmen del 1989 e, più recentemente, all'ascesa degli yuppies che mostrano come la Cina abbia rifatto il comunismo in uno stampo socialista-capitalista. Al contrario, le foto della Russia di Liu, scattate tra il 1990 e il 1993, documentano il crollo di uno Stato comunista. La più duratura di esse mostra Mikhail Gorbaciov che getta a terra il discorso pronunciato il 25 dicembre 1991, annunciando le sue dimissioni e segnalando la fine dell'Unione Sovietica e della Guerra Fredda. Questa foto, che incarna la capacità di Liu di trasmettere narrazioni complesse in un singolo fotogramma, appartiene alla serie che è stata premiata con il Pulitzer nel 1992. Book.…
