EASTERN EXPOSURE
Francis Wu
As a Chinese is unmistakable in a crowd of Europeans, so a Chinese photograph stands out from a group of others: both the man and the picture have clear-cut national characteristics.
Take, for example, the work of FRANCIS WU, which we reproduce on the following pages. Wu. One of China’s leading photographers, believe that – in photography, at least – East and West should never meet: that a Chinese should take pictures that faithfully mirror China, rather than allow himself to be influenced by Western technique. As he puts it: “the face of a Chinese can never be changed to resemble a Westerner; so why should a face of China itself be changed to resemble the West?”
