A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

From the wake of the war, through the Cuban revolution to the fall of the Berlin Wall and 9/11, the history of Magnum is the history of our world. Here are the images to prove it --The Herald Magazine

The strict membership procedure protects the Magnum brand, the epitome of top-drawer photography, and this book bears witness to its quality with a generous array of images spanning the seven decade--Irish Times

There's so much to this book it's impossible to include it all in a review- but suffice to say, this is an important read for anyone interested in Magnum's beginnings and development, indeed anyone interested in photography in any way-- Shutterhub

Magnum Manifesto, published to mark the 70th anniversary of an organisation which, as the book reminds us, was named after both champagne bottles and revolvers. The pictures capture the past seven decades with a violence and effervescence worthy of that name--Daily Telegraph

Quatrième de couverture :

The official publication celebrating Magnum Photos' 70th anniversary with a fresh and insightful view of Magnum's history and archive, accompanying a landmark exhibition showing in New York at the International Center of Photography in 2017 before touring worldwide

In this landmark photography publication and accompanying exhibition celebrating the 70th anniversary of the renowned photo agency, Clément Chéroux and Clara Bouveresse demonstrate how Magnum Photos owes its preeminence to the ability of its photographers to encompass and navigate the points between photography as art object and photography as documentary evidence.

Magnum Manifesto is organized into three parts: Part 1, Human Rights and Wrongs (1947-1968), views the Magnum archive through a humanist lens, focusing on postwar ideals of commonality and utopianism. Part 2, An Inventory of Differences (1969-1989), shows a world fragmenting, with a focus on subcultures, minorities, and outsiders. Part 3, Stories About Endings (1990-present day), charts the ways in which Magnum photographers have captured-and continue to capture-a world in flux and under threat.

Featuring both group and individual projects, this volume includes magazine spreads, newspaper features, and letters, putting some of the world's most recognizable images in creative context. Magnum Manifesto is an expertly curated, essential collection of images and commentary.
