Reagan Louie
Reagan Louie (born 1951, San Francisco, California) is an American photographer and artist whose photography and installations explore cross-cultural identity and global transformation in Asia and in Asian communities in the United States. His best-known works are ''Toward a Truer Life: Photographs of China 1980-1990'' and ''Orientalia: Sex in Asia''.
==Early Life and Work==
As a Chinese American, Louie was raised in two cultures in rural
Sacramento, California. On his mother’s side, he is a fifth generation Californian, which is unusual because the Chinese Exclusion Act barred most Chinese women from entering America. Louie’s father was born in a village in Guangdong Province, China. Louie’s early upbringing was within the insular Chinese community. He spoke Cantonese until he entered public school.
Louie has cited this rupture and the process of assimilation as a major influence on his work. In the forward of his book, ''Toward a Truer Life'', Louie writes about the contradictory nature of his education and assimilation: “…if my education furthered some inner division, it also gave me the means to give voice to it.”〔Louie, Reagan, Toward a Truer Life: Photographs of China 1980-1990, Aperture, New York, 1991〕 He initially studied painting at UCLA, until he began working with Robert Heinecken, who introduced him to photography. He received his MFA at Yale where he studied with Walker Evans.
