Synopsis

Here is the popular yet complete paperback edition of the hugely acclaimed Magnum Magnum, which was an instant sellout on first publication in 2007. It celebrates sixty years of the vision, imagination and brilliance of Magnum photographers in over 400 photographs by the acknowledged greats of photography in the 20th century and the rising stars of our time. Each photographer is represented by six of their works as chosen by, and including a critical text by, another member. Including biographies of the featured photographers, a history of Magnum Photos by Brigitte Lardinois and a bibliography of Magnum books, Magnum Magnum makes available to a wider audience one of the greatest photography anthologies of recent years – an essential book for anyone interested in photography or the world depicted by it.

About this title

Review:

A great idea, beautifully realized.

A book both quirky and epochal.

Very much a keeper.

Endlessly interesting.

Visually compelling...a collective testament to the complexity of human experience.

Transform(s) fragments from the deluge of events, both small and epic, into intimate photographic artifacts of the human condition.
