Riassunto

This generously illustrated book for lovers of photography includes 365 images from the greatest photojournalists of today and yesterday. Founded by Henri Cartier-Bresson, Magnum Photos is an iconic international photographic cooperative whose members have captured the major historical events of their times, as well as private and intimate moments. A year's worth of these images is offered in this beautiful book that features full page reproductions organized to reflect what Cartier-Bresson himself declared a community of thought, a shared human quality, a curiosity about what is going on in the world, a respect for what is going on and a desire to transcribe it visually. Nearly 70 photographers are represented with five to six images and the current Magnum members have selected the photographs that they consider to best represent their own output. Opposite each photograph is a page reserved for special dates, reflections, and notes. Published in an appealing and impressively-sized format, running more than 700 pages, this book includes images that make history both individual and universal.

Recensione

Its 365 images are a social history of 63 years of global change. --Metro, 29 November 2010

The perfect gift for anyone interested in the trajectory of photography over the past 60 years...Co-founder Henri Cartier-Bresson memorably said the agency should reflect 'a community of thought, a shared human quality, a curiosity about what is going on in the world, a respect for what is going on and a desire to transcribe it visually'. That, against all the odds in this digital age of image overload...remains the case. --The Observer, 12 December 2010

'The riches contained within the Magnum Archive have been shuffled and sliced afresh this year to produce A Year in Photography: Magnum Archive.' --The Times

'Photography books of the year: Best Compilation - it is the perfect gift for anyone interested in the trajectory of photography over the past 60 years.' --The Observer

Some photographs are iconic, some little known; they range from classic portraits to abstract images, cover almost 60 years and capture global communities. --Metro
