BBC报道陈漫作品被指“辱华”事件
据中国妇女报，近日，在上海展出的《迪奥与艺术》因为一幅由摄影师陈漫拍摄的照片引发了网络热议。头发油腻、眉毛稀疏、眼神凶狠、浮肿单眼皮配上脏兮兮的眼妆，还戴着清朝护甲……照片中女模特的形象令人极其不适，网友怒批“太阴间”“丑化亚裔”。
对此，摄影师陈漫发博致歉，她表示：“我早期艺术观尚未成型，参加展览时对策展概念也不甚了解，使得当时的作品欠缺思考。尤其是08年错误使用‘少先队员’为标题的一组图片，对少先队组织造成了不好的影响，我感到非常自责并再次郑重道歉。”

China: Photographer sorry for 'small eyes' Dior picture
BBC
A Chinese fashion photographer has apologised for her "ignorance" after a picture she shot for French luxury brand Dior sparked outrage.
Chen Man's photo showed a woman who some Chinese netizens said perpetuated Western stereotypes of Asian faces.
"I blame myself for my immaturity and ignorance [in my past works]," Ms Chen, 41, wrote on social platform Weibo.
Dior said the photo, which was recently displayed at a Shanghai exhibition, has since been removed.
"Dior, as always, respects the sentiments of the Chinese people... If any errors happen, [Dior] must be open to receiving feedback and correct them in time," the fashion house wrote on its Weibo account on Wednesday evening, adding that the work was an artwork and not a commercial advertisement.
The photo first went on display on 12 November, but immediately sparked a backlash from some netizens - habitual users of the internet - and then local media outlets.
Fair skin and large eyes are typically considered ideal beauty features in China - and advertisements more commonly feature models with such features.
In contrast, an editorial by the Beijing Daily described the model in the Dior photo as having a "gloomy face" and sinister eyes".
"For years, Asian women have always appeared with small eyes and freckles from the Western perspective," said the editorial. "The photographer is playing up to the brands, or the aesthetic tastes of the western world."
Chinese social media users echoed this, Ms Chen's photos were an "insulting" portrayal of what those in the West believed Chinese women looked like.
"This is how Western people think we look," said one user on Weibo, adding that Chen Man had played up to this. Many added that they would boycott the luxury brand.
Meanwhile, a commentary by China Women's News said that the image of the model with "swollen single eyelids" made people feel "uncomfortable".
Some Chinese Internet users pointed out that the photo was reminiscent of Ms Chen's photo series dated 2012, which she had shot for i-D Magazine.
But not all agreed. Some stood up for Ms Chen, with one Weibo user saying: "Why can't a Chinese woman with small eyes also be considered beautiful? I don't see any problem with this."
In her statement on Wednesday, Ms Chen said that she had "reflected deeply" and felt compelled to issue an apology after examining "nearly every negative comment" about her artwork.
"I was born and raised in China. I deeply love my country. As an artist, I'm totally aware of my responsibility to document Chinese culture and showcase Chinese beauty through my work," she said.
"I will educate myself on Chinese history, attend more relevant events, and improve my ideologies... I will strive to tell China's story right through my work."
Ms Chen is a well-known photographer in the Chinese fashion world. She has shot covers for top magazine titles and has photographed celebrities David Beckham and Fan Bingbing.
