MAGNUM MAGNUM NEW EDITION | NEW PRICE!
“Encompasses sixty years
of photography by
the legendary agency.”
Since its founding in 1947 by Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson,
George Rodger, and David “Chim” Seymour, Magnum Photos, the
legendary co-operative has powerfully chronicled the peoples,
cultures, events, and issues of the time.
Magnum Magnum brings together the best work, celebrating the
vision, imagination, and brilliance of Magnum photographers, both
the acknowledged greats of photography in the twentieth century—
among them, Henri-Cartier Bresson, Robert Capa, Eve Arnold,
Marc Riboud, and Werner Bischof—and the modern masters and
rising stars of our time, such as Martin Parr, Susan Meiselas, Alec
Soth, and Donovan Wylie.
Organized by photographer, the book harks back to the agency’s
early days and the spirit that made it such a unique and creative
environment, one in which each of the four founding members
picture-edited the others’ photographs. Here a current Magnum
photographer selects and critiques six key works by each of the
sixty-nine featured photographers, with a commentary explaining
the rationale behind the choice.
This new edition provides a permanent record of iconic images
from the last sixty years and an insight, as seen through the critical
eyes and minds of Magnum photographers, into what makes a
memorable photograph.
