A life in pictures

The first joint exhibition of a legendary photographer couple is running at the National Art Museum of China. More than 100 photographs are on show, showcasing the work from their careers from the late 1930s to the 1970s.

Gao Fan (1922-2004) and 90-year-old Niu Weiyu are both acclaimed photographers and a couple. Gao captured many historic moments at the birth of New China, including combat scenes and first-generation leaders of the Communist Party of China, such as late Chairman Mao Zedong and Premier Zhou Enlai. Niu was, however, one of the few female photographers in the 1950s, and captured important figures among the literati and art circles.
