A Year in Photography
Magnum Archive
Description:... Now available again in a stunning new format, 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 the 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 visually stunning book that features
full page reproductions organized to reflect what CartierBresson
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 each, and the current Magnum members have
selected the photographs that they consider to best represent
their own output. Running more than 700 pages, this book
includes images that make history both individual and universal.
