Marc Riboud’s portraits offer viewers an insight into the changes that have taken place in China over the past half century. One of France’s greatest photographers, Riboud first ventured to China in 1957 and continued to visit regularly until his last trip to Shanghai in 2010. Mesmerized by the country’s age-old civilization and vast and diverse landscapes, he has explored how Chinese people have lived since the founding of the PRC. This series of 36 photographs traces the history of China over more than 50 years and is a testament to Riboud’s fondness for the country, and for Asia as a whole.
