认识李元奇是在二十年前。那时是改革开放的起始阶段,摄影艺术园地也出现了空前活跃的局面。1979年4月,北京“四月影会”的一群年轻人,在中山公园兰室举办了名为《自然·社会·人》的摄影展,在全国引起了极大的轰动。他们用自己的作品向社会发出了响亮的召唤:把艺术还给摄影,把镜头对准生活。 Understanding Li Yuanqi was twenty years ago. At that time, it was the initial stage of reform and opening up. There was also an unprecedentedly active scene in the photographic arts park. In April 1979, a group of young people from the April Film Festival in Beijing organized a photo exhibition entitled “Nature, Society, and People” in the Zhongshan Park Lantern Room, which caused a great stir across the country. They used their own works to make a loud call to society: returning art to photography and aiming the camera at life.
