勞倫斯•席勒攝影作品展The Photography of Lawrence Schiller
夢露與六十年代的美國Marilyn Monroe and America in the 1960s
2007年9月29日舉行了一個記錄了美國世界上最有影響的攝影——騷動的60年代展之一，並包含了美國性感偶像瑪麗蓮•夢露的鏡頭。這次展出的作品出自一個富有傳奇色彩的攝影家、作家和導演——勞倫斯•席勒，這是唯一一個通過歷史的觀點來講述1960年美國的展覽，這將是首次在華舉行的此類展覽，同時將為中國人展出另一個美國，
這些展出的照片揭示了美國歷史艱難時期的一面，一個及樂觀開始卻以混亂而結束，那是一個不安而又充滿了探索的十年。瑪麗蓮•夢露為肯尼迪總統唱“生日快樂”歌；肯尼迪凝視著古巴裝備了蘇聯的導彈並於次年被暗殺。卡修斯•克萊獲得了重量級拳王的稱號並把他的名字改成了穆罕默德•阿裏。馬丁•路德•金的夢想。反對戰爭的抗議者們在尤金•麥卡錫和波比•肯尼迪的身上看到了希望，但終因肯尼迪遇刺而破滅。這十年的時間經歷了肯尼迪當選直至理查德•尼克松上臺。貫穿于這混亂的十年當中，只要新聞的標題是關於又一事件發生了，就一定會有勞倫斯•席勒的名字出現。
在60年代，席勒先生的作品出現在全世界所有領先的出版社中。70年代中旬他又開始執筆寫作，同時參與執導電影作品。他寫的書而後排成的電影作品曾獲得奧斯卡獎，七次電視艾美獎，和很多次成為《紐約時報》最暢銷書及1次普利策獎。除此之外，席勒先生還獲得了最負盛名的國家新聞攝影家協會頒發的獎項——格萊獎和天主教克裏斯多佛獎，電影顧問獎和美國電影盛典獎。他的作品曾在林肯表演藝術中心和柏林電影節上展出。他還代表美國出席了莫斯科國際和平論壇。
席勒先生對中國的的興趣始於2005年，當他第一次訪問中國時。緊接著他就通過中國當代藝術家及他們父母親的眼睛，開始記錄了1933-2001年的中國現代歷史。
One of the most significant photo exhibitions to document America in the turbulent 1960s, which also includes images of the American icon Marilyn Monroe, opens to the public on September 29th, 2007. The exhibition is an unequaled historical perspective of the 1960s in America as captured by the legendary photographer, writer and director Lawrence Schiller, and will bring to the Chinese people a perspective of America never exhibited before in China.
The photographs on display at the exhibition document one of the most difficult periods in America history, one that started with optimism and ended in chaos. It was 10 years of turmoil and exploration. Marilyn Monroe sang “Happy Birthday” to President Kennedy; Kennedy stared down the Russians over missiles in Cuba and was then assassinated the following year. Cassius Clay captured the heavy weight title and changed his name to Muhammad Ali. Martin Luther King, Jr., had a dream. The antiwar protestors saw hope in Eugene McCarthy and Bobby Kennedy, but hope was stopped when Kennedy was killed. The decade began with the election of John F. Kennedy and ended with Richard Nixon. Throughout this turbulent decade, whenever a headline making news event occurred, Lawrence Schiller was there.
In the 1960s, Mr. Schiller’s works appeared in leading publications throughout the world. During the mid 1970s he turned to writing and film directing. His books, films and collaborations have won an Academy Award (Oscar), 7 Television Emmys, numerous New York Times bestseller listings and a Pulitzer Prize. In addition, Mr. Schiller has been awarded the prestigious National Press Photographer’s Association Award, the Graflex Award, the Catholic Church’s Christopher Award, the Film Advisory Board Award and the USA Film Festival Award. His works have been exhibited at New York’s Lincoln Center, and the Berlin Film Festival. He was a representative from the United States to the Moscow International Peace Forum.
Mr. Schiller’s interest in China started in 2005 when he first visited and began to document China’s modern history from 1933 to 2001, as told through the eyes of China’s contemporary artists, and their fathers and mothers.
