"He used his camera like a doctor would use a stethoscope in order
to diagnose the state of the heart. His own was vulnerable.",
Cartier-Bresson wrote about David Seymour, who liked to be called
Chim. Chim is best known as one of the cofounders of
photojournalism's famous cooperative Magnum Photos. Weaving Chim's
life and work, this book discovers this empathetic photographer who
has been called "The First Human Rights Photographer". In 1947,
Chim was one of the four cofounders of the Magnum Photos
cooperative with Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson and George
Rodger. He also wrote Magnum's 1955 bylaws, which are still in
effect today. But he is the only one of those famous photographers
who does not have a full biography to his name. This book examines
his life and work from Poland to France to the Spanish Civil War,
his work for British intelligence during World War II, his
reportage on Europe's children after the war, his reportages on
Italian actors, illiteracy and religious festivals in Southern
Italy, his coverage of Israel's beginnings before his 1956 death
during the Suez war. His complex itinerary is emblematic of the
displacements and passages of the XXth century.
