Author: Philippe Séclier
Published to coincide with the 75th anniversary of the Magnum Photos agency, this book puts into perspective its history and photographers, against the backdrop of the events that they have experienced, telling the “little stories” that lie behind major photographs. From May 1968 in France, to September 11, 2001, through the Vietnam War and more recent conflicts, contemporary history unfolds under the lens of the agency's photographers. Addressed to as much the reader who would like to discover documentary photography, as to the specialist who would like to complete his knowledge, Magnum Photos 75 Years is a collection of anecdotes and singular stories which reveals a great fresco of this mythical press agency, thanks to the work led by the author Philippe Séclier. The book is also distinguished by its original shape: evoking photographs without ever showing them but only by summoning them through the text. You will have to unfold the front and back endpapers of the book to discover the images hidden inside...
