In this landmark photography publication and accompanying
exhibition, Clement Cheroux demonstrates how Magnum Photos owes its
pre-eminence to the ability of its photographers to encompass and
navigate the points between photography as art object and
photography as documentary evidence. A Magnum photograph can be
expressive and bear witness at the same time. Magnum Manifesto is
organized into three main parts: Part 1 (1947-1968) views the
Magnum archive through a humanist lens, focusing on post-war ideals
of commonality and utopianism. Part 2 (1969-1989) shows a world
fragmenting, with a focus on subcultures, minorities and outsiders.
Part 3 (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, the book includes contact sheets, notebooks, magazine
spreads and other previously unseen material to accompany the
photographs. Complete with extensive texts by Clement Cheroux and
photographic historian Clara Bouveresse, Magnum Manifesto is an
essential purchase for anyone seeking to understand the very best
in photography.
