Magnum Atlas: Around the World in 365 Photos from the Magnum Archive (Magnum Photos)

Description

Featuring new and iconic images, this follow-up to Prestel's highly successful A Year in Photography: Magnum Archive includes some of the most striking photography ever collected in one volume. As readers flip the pages they will find themselves traveling from west to east across the globe. Each country is represented in three or four images captured by a single photographer. While renowned figures such as Robert Capa, Bruce Davidson, and Martin Parr are included, readers will also find younger photographers such as Olivia Arthur, Alessandra Sanguinetti, and Mikhael Subotzky, all of whom present dazzling new views of our changing world. Shining a light on the human condition in every corner of the globe, this compilation exemplifies Magnum founder Henry Cartier- Bresson's vision of '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.' Review: 365 brilliant photos - 365 great photos. The reproductions are pretty good. Could possibly be a bit better. And many of the great photos do show how people live away from the wealthy metropolitan centres. Review: A LOT smaller than expected...tiny size... - This is another SMALL book. NOT the large coffee table style you are expecting. This book is smaller than an A4 piece of paper.
