Description
Presented by OSU College of the Arts
Tuesday, January 19, 2010 - Saturday, March 27, 2010 Sha Fei (1920-1950), arguably the most prolific war photographer in the history of Chinese photography, expertly chronicled the Second Sino-Japanese War of 1937-1945. His photographs were also appropriated by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) as effective propaganda. But these photographs are fascinating for more than their quantity, high artistic values, and historical significance. They played an important role in shaping China's new national identity-Communist China-prior to the official establishment of the People's Republic in 1949. The exhibition features a rich selection of Sha Fei's photographs to illustrate the intersection of art, documentary, and propaganda and explore the relationship of photography and China's construction of national identity.
