In 2005, the Permanent Missions of China and Japan to the United Na- tions presented, “Spirit of the East”, a two-person exhibition of Wang Wusheng’s photographs along with paintings by the late Japanese mas- ter artist Kaii Higashiyama in the General Assembly’s Visitor’s Lobby. “Celestial Realm” will open with a reception for the artist on Thursday, March 7, 2013, from 6:00-8:00pm, and will be on view through April 27, 2013.

Huangshan mountain range, also known as the Yellow Mountains. Located in the southern part of Anhui province in China, Mt. Huangshan, with an incredible seventy-two peaks, has often been described as the world’s most beauti- ful and enchanting mountain range and has been the subject of Chinese artists for centuries. Born and raised in the foothills of this dramatic landscape, Wusheng’s photographs recall the artist’s early memories, as well as traditional Chinese ink drawings of mountains, sky and clouds.

While some research has been made on post-1949 photography, the photographic production of the pre-1949 period has not been sufficiently explored. Focusing on the years of the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-45), this thesis aims at addressing this gap in the literature and at providing an analysis of how the Chinese Communist Party exploited photography for propaganda purposes during the war.
