Wishing Magnum Photos a happy 70th birthday
Mark Feeney | Boston Globe | 21st July 2017
Magnum, founded in 1947, is a pre-eminent photographic agency. The images of its members are renowned for being both factual and artistic, capturing authentic experiences of the street. As one critic notes about a survey show in New York “it presents photography as neither independent art nor mere documentation but as something in between”.
