[WONG, Nanying Stella.]. A SUITE OF 34 BLACK & WHITE PHOTOGRAPH OF CHINESE VIEWS: A Keen Insight to China.
LOVELY PHOTOGRAPHS BY A LOCAL BAY AREA PHOTOGRAPHER & POET BIOGRAPHY: Chinese American Woman Artist & Poet from the San Francisco Bay area, and University of California Berkeley graduate. * Known more as a visual artist than as a wordsmith, Nanying Stella Wong [aka Stella Wong Lee] was born on 30 March 1914 in Oakland, California, where she grew up in a fairly secure Chinese American, middle-class home. Her father owned an herbalism business, and her mother ran the family restaurant, the Peacock Inn, where Wong often featured her finest girlhood drawings. Upon dining in the restaurant, William Clapp, curator of the Oakland Art Gallery, was so impressed with Wong's early talent that he helped her earn a scholarship to the California College of Arts and Crafts. Later, she attended the University of California at Berkeley for a more liberal education. After attending graduate school at Cornell University and conducting postgraduate studies in Mexico City and Dublin, Ireland, Wong lived briefly in New York City, where she designed jewelry for Helena Rubinstein. ** In 1940, Wong moved back to the Bay Area, where she has lived ever since. She taught in the Oakland public school system for several years and took to writing poetry, which has appeared in such small periodicals as California Living and Sunset Magazine and in several theme-specific anthologies of both West Coast and Asian American writers. She currently lives in Berkeley, California, where she continues to pursue her various artistic endeavors. Liberally extracted from www.questia.com an article by Shawn Holliday. * Ms. Wong was also a recognized poet. On the verso of one of the photographs we find: "TWO PEMS AND SKETCHES by Nanying Stella Wong, with six sketches and the poems. They were printed on an 8.5 x 11 inch paper then laid down. * On December 10, 1935, the first De Young Museum Chinese Art Assn. exhibition was held, exhibiting Chinese-American artists works, Ms. Wong was one of those selected to show her works. [Google search results are profuse.] * Her Husband: Kem K. Lee was born on October 1, 1910 in the Taishan District, Guangdong Province of China. In 1928, he arrived in the United States and later opened one of the first photography studios in San Francisco's Chinatown. Lee worked both as a studio photographer and photojournalist, documenting community and organization events, including serving as the official photographer of the Miss Chinatown USA Pageant. He married poet-artist Nanying Stella Wong. When he retired from professional photography in 1978, he concentrated on writing and publishing his poetry in various local Chinese language newspapers. Kem Lee passed away on October 2, 1986. He was also known as Lee Siu Yum, Lee Kim Kin, and Thomas K. Lee. [It is the opinion of this cataloguer that the photographs described herein were likely developed, and mounted by Kem Lee being Nanying's husband. ******** ** There is a business card of laid down on the back of photograph 117, giving Nanying's address in Berkeley, her telephone number, and also stating: "Civic Art Commissioner, artist writer" Given the early nature of the photographs, we can only assume that Nanying was able to go to China during this early period via Hong Kong and then into the Beijing area and photograph her subjects. ** This is an eclectic suite of original period black and white photographs, obviously done for some sort of an exhibition because all are numbered on the verso and mounted. * The first group of ten photos show various roofs with their traditional tiles, dragons and other animals which decorate the top or corners. Other traditional buildings with ponds, pagodas, gardens and a famous tea house in Beijing. [one has a scratch on the face, all others no issues.] * The second group of three show scholar's rocks or rock gardens, straight out of the Ten Bamboo Studio. * The third group consists of six photographs. The first four are of views through a screen to a small pavilion outside, a circular window with a dragon pattern, two relief's the first is of a Chinese aristocracy and his attendants and two children, all symbolic. The next shows a Chinese theatre scene with the actors and audience observing, perhaps from porcelain although its difficult to determine the materials. Two other photos show cave dwellings from the outside perhaps in the north of China where this was a typical type of dwelling, one shows a man seated before his doorway. * The last group contains fifteen photos. They illustrate: a. A woman in typical "Mao" uniform seated before what looks like the bridge at the Beijing Summer Palace. * b. A man and woman in "Mao" suits before one of his typical slogans, they stand arrow straight and formal. * c. A woman and two children at her sides before what could be her house or dwelling, tiled roof, two baskets dangling in the front, all wear "Mao" type jacket and plain pants, with the usual minimalist hair style of the hard times. * d. School children presented for a photograph, they appear to be about 3-4 years old. They all wear similar clothes and shoes. * e. More school children, who appear to be in the Forbidden City on an excursion. They wear red scarves, white shirts and some wear water canteens. * f. Young girl doing paper cutting, sharpening her tools. * g. Children being taught embroidery. * h. Children taking "pulse" in what appears to be a class on health, evidence of human anatomy chart on the wall, and a small human doll on the table for learning purposes. It could also be an acupuncture class as a cup near by seems to hold the handle of a needle, as does it appear that one girl is applying the needle to the hand of her classmate. * i. Children learning the principles of electricity. * j. A boy playing a grand piano.. * k. Factory/industrial photos: . 1. a huge electric generator . 2. sample group of Chinese made trucks . 3. sample group of Chinese made tractors . 4. People working a quarry * l. Show case showing some Sung period examples of "Feudal society ceramic and other artifacts. ***** This group looks like the Chinese of the 1950's-1960 era when "Mao" suits were the only choice. People also have that look of austerity so common to that period. * Color scans can be sent by email.
