Magnum Magnum

Description

Magnum Magnum showcases the best of Magnum members, celebrating the vision, imagination and brilliance of both the acknowledged greats of photography in the 20th century, and the modern masters and rising stars of our time. Since its founding in 1947 by Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger and David ‘Chim’ Seymour, Magnum Photos - the legendary co-operative - has powerfully chronicled the peoples, cultures, events and issues of the time. Now, following its 75th anniversary, Magnum Photos and Thames & Hudson join forces to publish an updated and expanded edition of the original hit publication Magnum Magnum (2007), which was previously presented in three formats and sold over 200,000 copies worldwide. Organized by photographer, Magnum Magnum is built upon a founding concept that made Magnum such a unique creative environment; a collaborative process where each of the four founders picture edited the other’s photographs. This book evokes the same creative spirit, with each photographer selecting and critiquing six key works by another of the agency’s 87 photographers along with a commentary explaining the rationale behind their choices. This new edition adds the 25 photographers who have joined Magnum in the last 15 years. With more than 150 new photographs and over 700 pages, this book is the definition of an updated classic. Review: Libro hermoso pero está de mírame y no me toques - Hermosa reedición del ya clásico de Magnum, con semblanzas y comentarios de cada fotógrafo del colectivo, todas escritas por otro fotógrafo miembro (un dispositivo muy interesante). Viene en un papel mate precioso PERO sumamente delicado; prácticamente se mancha nada más de verlo. Recomiendo manejarlo con mucho cuidado, literalmente con guantes o pinzas. Hay fotos que ocupan toda la página, con fondo obscuro y no hay MANERA de agarrarlas sin mancharlas con la grasa de los dedos. Intenté —según yo siendo muy inteligente — agarrarla con el borde de mi camisa y se manchó con el colorante de la prenda, imagínense. En fin, cuídenlo. Review: Tolles Buch - Für Fotoliebhaber ein tolles Buch. Sehr schönes Papier und tolle Fotos und Erläuterungen. Ein Kaugüf, der einem lange Freude bereitet.
