The first edition of Magnum Magnum was the photography book of the decade, a monumental tribute to sixty years of vision, imagination, and brilliance from the legendary photography agency and collective Magnum Photos.
Following its success, this exceptional book is now appearing for a second time in a new format.
With more than four hundred photographs, this book offers an enduring overview of numerous iconic images from the past sixty years.
It features work by the sixty-nine Magnum members, ranging from the acknowledged greats of twentieth-century photography—including Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, Eve Arnold, Marc Riboud, and Werner Bischof—to the leading contemporary masters, such as Martin Parr, Susan Meiselas, Alec Soth, and Donovan Wylie. Each photographer is represented by six works selected and discussed by another member. Magnum Photos is an international photographers’ collective founded in 1947 by Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger, and David Seymour.
It transformed journalistic photography: a photographer who had gained Magnum membership no longer worked for a client, but decided independently when to sell photographs to newspapers and magazines through the photographers’ network.
The agency is still managed by its participating photographers today. For more information, visit www.magnumphotos.com.
Co-founder Henri Cartier-Bresson is the focus of the extensive monograph Here and Now, featuring well-known, rarely shown, and previously unpublished photographs from his long career.
Magnum Magnum is an indispensable publication for anyone interested in photography or the world it portrays.
