About the Authors:

Magnum Photos, the world’s most prestigious photographic agency, was formed in 1947 by four photographers: Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger and David ‘Chim’ Seymour. Their members are renowned for their intelligence in combining both reporter and artist in the photographer’s role – attributes that have defined Magnum for over 60 years, and continue to do so.

Culled from the archives of the prestigious 65-year-old photo agency Magnum founded by Henri Cartier Bresson, this collection of images from internationally renowned photographers is a compelling record of the recent decades of worldwide revolution.

The history of revolution is as old as humanity; yet it is only since the invention of photography that we have been able to discern the realities of these conflicts from the distance of time. Starting with the Hungarian uprising in 1956 and culminating with the most recent triumphs and tragedies of the "Arab Spring", this book brings together hundreds of color and black-and-white images that depict historic events from a human perspective. Iconic images from revolutions in Prague, Nicaragua, Tiananmen Square, Romania, Ukraine, Poland, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and other locations are introduced in double-page spreads featuring the images of Magnum photographers such as Raymond Depardon, Burt Glinn, René Burri, Josef Koudelka, Susan Meiselas, and many more. Introduced by renowned "New Yorker" journalist Jon Lee Anderson, and featuring texts and interviews by Paul Watson, this uplifting and important book offers, for the first time, a collective understanding of the universal dream of freedom and the inevitability of change.

 A spectacular discovery: the first Magnum group show from 1955 to 1956, now in book form.

Magnum Photos, founded in 1947 by Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger, David Seymour, and Bill Vandivert, is one of the most famous photo agencies in the world. Until only recently, it was thought that the earliest Magnum group exhibition was the one curated by L. Fritz Gruber for the photokina in Cologne in the fall of 1956. However, more than fifty years later, an even earlier show has been rediscovered, Magnum Photo: Face of Time, which traveled to five Austrian cities in 1955/56.

This is the first publication to provide a complete documentation of the exhibition. A total of eighty-three vintage prints by eight Magnum photographers — Werner Bischof, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, Ernst Haas, Erich Lessing, Jean Marquis, Inge Morath, and Marc Riboud — are featured in large-format reproductions. The show’s main theme was “photographic humanism”: people and their living spaces, photographed without any kind of sensationalism by committed photojournalists who believed in educating and bettering the world through their authentic documents of it.

While the female nude has long played a concpicuous role in western iconography, the male nude has not always enjoyed such adoration. This collection provides an overdue review of material that at one time could only be bought under the counter, beginning with the anonymous erotica of the 19th century. It features the pioneer homoerotic nude photographs of Baron Wilhelm von Gloeden, posing nude youths in classical postures at Taormina in Sicily. It includes illustrations from groundbreaking magazines such as Physique Pictorial, the leading organ of the mid-50s gay scene, and it covers the entire range from classic masters of male nude photography, such as Herbert List, George Platt Lynes or Robert Mapplethorpe, to the pin-up beefcake of the sex magazines.

The first comprehensive compendium of contemporary photography and art on the male nude form. Distinguished by its wide-ranging scope and cutting-edge sensibility, this collection offers mainly unpublished work from more than 70 of today's most intriguing artists. An essential sourcebook for photography and art.

Nude photography used to be synonymous with female nudes. Only gradually have photographers discovered the male body both as an object of desire. “Male Nudes” presents a very special selection of some of the best contemporary male nudes. This volume offers a sumptuous collection of gorgeous nudes, celebrating the male physique in all its beauty. It leads us through an offering of almost a thousand pictures taken from the point of view of various photographers of international repute. Here, we find the classical study, from author photography to conventional nude photography. The detailed address section of the book's appendix gives all those interested the possibility of contacting the individual photographer.

An exciting monograph dedicated to an extraordinary figure and one of last century’s most famous and influential artists. ​

Man Ray (1890-1976) was a photographer, painter, and creator of objects, experimental films, and images which were at times enigmatic. This catalogue, which presents more than 200 works and compares and contrasts images with biographical details, is divided into three main sections: Man Ray’s formative years spent between New York and an artists’ colony in Ridgefield, New Jersey; the Paris period; and the period spent between Hollywood and Paris, France-the city he ultimately chose to adopt as his home.

The publication describes the creation of some of his most famous pieces and the motifs-very often of females-that inspired the works. Man Ray’s life was marked by a succession of love affairs with famous and intriguing women, and this catalogue dedicates several sections to this topic.

The book also deals with the themes permeating Man Ray’s work throughout the years, such as his passion for chess, the relationship between reality and illusion, and experimental photography and film. Comparisons are also made with the works of some of the most important artists of the twentieth century, such as Pablo Picasso, Marcel Duchamp, Constantin Brancusi, Jean Arp, and Francis Picabia.

Experiments in photography

The artist who brought Surrealism to a new medium

Man Ray (1890-1976) is indisputably one of the most original artists of the 20th century. His revolutionary nude studies, fashion work, and portraits opened a new chapter in the history of photography. Born under the name of Emmanuel Radnitzky in Philadelphia, he began his artistic career in New York. In 1921 he moved to Paris, where he was enthusiastically welcomed into Dadaist and Surrealist circles. Man Ray experimented tirelessly with new photographic techniques, multiple exposure, rayography, and solarization being some of his most famous. Erotic, playful, and sometimes sinister, his compositions show unusual bodies and objects: strange, striking images that transform our perceptions of reality. This collection of famous, lesser known, and unknown works fully illustrates Man Ray’s singular visionary power.

Rays of Light Man Ray, multitalented master of modernist imagery 

Man Ray (1890 - 1976) was a polymath modernist, working in painting, sculpture, film, printmaking, and poetry. But it was his work in photography, with nude studies, fashion work, and portraiture that saw him pioneering a new chapter in the history of camerawork and art. With a wide-ranging collection of both his famous and lesser-known works, this monograph gives a vivid overview of Man Ray's multifaceted practice and photographic legacy. It traces Ray from his artistic beginnings in New York through to his central role in the Parisian avant-garde, where he featured in the first Surrealist exhibition with Jean Arp, Max Ernst, Andre Masson, Joan Miro, and Pablo Picasso and produced such now iconic works as Noire et blanche and Le Violon d Ingres.

Through numerous examples of still life, portraiture, and beyond, we see how Ray constantly experimented with new techniques, pushing photography out of its documentary domain into ethereal, poetic expressions through multiple exposure, solarization, and the particular brand of photograms he wittily termed rayography.

A comprehensive overview of the life and work of the groundbreaking artist Man Ray (1890-1976) who broke down the boundaries between photography and graphic design with his innovative techniques.

Er hat sie alle gekannt und photographiert: seine Freunde, die Dadaisten und Surrealisten, die Künstler von Montparnasse und ihre Modelle, die Amerikaner der Lost Generation, die sich um Gertrude Stein scharten, die internationale Avantgarde auf der Durchreise oder im Exil, die Pariser Prominenz aus der Welt der Mode, des Theaters, des Kinos Man Ray (1890-1976), Amerikaner, Photograph, Maler, Objektkünstler und Mitbegründer von New York Dada, kommt 1921 nach Paris. Um Geld zu verdienen, legt er sich ein Portraitstudio zu, das schnell zum Treffpunkt von Künstlern und Literaten, Schauspielern und Tänzern, den schillernden Figuren der Demi-monde und der Haute Volée wird. Tausende müssen es in dem halben Jahrhundert gewesen sein, das Man Ray mit einer elfjährigen Zwangsunterbrechung (Hollywood 1940-1951) in seiner Wahlheimat Paris verbrachte und mitgestaltete. Exakt 12.304 Negative aus den Studiobeständen Man Rays, davon knapp zwei Drittel Portraits, gelangten Mitte der 90er Jahre in den Besitz des Centre Pompidou, Paris. Archiviert und digitalisiert wird dieser unschätzbare Fundus jetzt als großformatiges Buch der Öffentlichkeit vorgestellt: eine Auswahl von 500 Portraitaufnahmen, das Gesicht einer ganzen Epoche in meisterhaften Photographien eines Meisters der Improvisation und Menschenkenntnis.

Bringing together unique and rarely seen photographs, paintings, sculpture and drawings, this exquisite book tells the story of the tumultuous relationship between the artists Man Ray (1890–1976) and Lee Miller (1907–1977). From 1929 to 1932, the two lived together in Paris, first as teacher and student, and later as lovers. Historically, Miller has been described as Man Ray’s muse, but Partners in Surrealism reveals how their brief, mercurial love affair was a key source of mutual and sustained inspiration, resulting in some of the most powerful work of each artist’s career. Featuring a candid and poignant contribution from Antony Penrose, the son of Miller and the English painter Roland Penrose, on the relationship between Man Ray and his parents in later years, this is an extraordinary exploration of the love, lust and desire that drove the art of the Surrealists.
