Eve Arnold: In China 1980, Alfred A. Knopf, NY 1st Edition Photography As one of the first westerners to be invited to the country, after the darkness and chaos of Mao's Cultural Revolution.‚ Arnold's photographs reflect those of a honored guest; sympathetic and affectionate. The book includes images of portraiture, landscapes and documentary photography. Eve Arnold writes, “In China, 1979 marked a period of easing towards the West. For the first time after almost a generation of secrecy, the Chinese government was taking its own people (and the outside world) into its confidence. The official organ, the Xinhua News Agency, was reporting basic information and statistics on employment, the national income, the budget, the harvest, industrial quotas, consumer goods, and much else that had been a mystery before. To get people moving, economic incentives were to replace ideology. The Chinese were taking a heavy gamble that they could become a world power by the year 2000. It was a time of openness that made my work a joy."
