    wang wusheng march 7 - april 27, 2013 celestial realm reception for the artist: thursday, march 7, 6-8 PM NEW YORK – Barry Friedman Ltd. is pleased to present “Celestial Realm” a solo exhibition of large-scale black and white photography by the con- temporary Chinese artist Wang Wusheng. This will be Wang’s fi rst solo exhibition at Barry Friedman Ltd. and his second exhibition in New York. 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. Accompanying the exhibition is a stunning hardcover 240-page monograph, “Celestial Realm: The Yellow Mountains of China,” with an introduction by the noted art historian Wu Hung (Abbeville Press, 2005) For almost four decades Wang Wusheng has photographed China’s renowned Mt. 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.
