Since Magnum was founded in 1947, its members have been on
hand to bear witness on the front line of world history. From
Robert Capa''s stark photograph of a Loyalist soldier being shot in
the head during the Spanish Civil War to Eve Arnold''s astonishingly
intimate portraits of well-known faces -- from Joan Crawford to
Malcolm X -- Magnum has changed how we perceive our political
leaders, social crises, and the communities next door.Magnum''s
photographers are some of the most talented, brave, and resourceful
in the world: the founders, Robert Capa, David Seymour, George
Rodger, and Henri Cartier-Bresson; and recruits, including Eve
Arnold, Bruce Davidson, Mary Ellen Mark, Susan Meiselas, Inge
Morath, James Nachtwey, Eugene Richards, and Sebastiao Salgado.
Magnum follows them on assignment, facing bodyguards and visa
troubles and taking to the risk-filled trenches of several wars for
the perfect shot. Full of wonderful stories and heroic feats,
Magnum is an essential volume for anyone interested in photography
or photojournalism.
