Exhibition celebrates 70 years of Magnum Photos
Print Edition
AN exhibition spanning the second half of the 20th century and celebrating the last 70 years of the oldest photographic cooperative in the world has opened in New York.
James Dean striding through Times Square, Pablo Picasso holding a parasol for French painter Francoise Gilot and Marilyn Monroe on “The Misfits” set — just three of the iconic Magnum photographs that capture the spirit of the 20th century.
More than 240 prints and 300 projected photographs are on display in “Magnum Manifesto” exhibition at Manhattan’s International Center of Photography until September 3.
Magnum Photos was created by Robert Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa and two other photographers on February 6, 1947 after popping open a bottle of champagne at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Cartier-Bresson intended it as a “photographic utopia” or “construction of observers.”
The New York exhibition has been divided into three chronological and thematic categories.
Photographs from 1949-68 focus on post-war ideals of commonality and utopianism; the 1970s and 1980s on a fragmenting world, subcultures and minorities; and 1990-2017 a world under threat, such as Thomas Dworzak’s images of the Taliban and Alessandra Sanguinetti’s from the aftermath of the 2016 Nice bombing that killed 86 people.
