Photographs taken in the "countries traversed and photographed by Marc Riboud between 1955 and 1958. ... Desirous to discover these age-old civilisations, his first stop was Istanbul, before continuing on his way through the admirable landscapes of Cappadocia and Anatolia. He crossed Persia into Afghanistan and its tribal areas, as Nicolas Bouvier had done not long before him. In 1956, he arrived in India, his initial destination, which he explored for nearly a year. It was from there that he entered Communist China. He ended his "Grand Tour" in Japan in 1958, which was then undergoing full reconstruction after the war, and its society was rapidly evolving. Back in France, Marc Riboud brought home thousands of photographs, representing traces of these ancestral cultures. Those who know the Orient of today will perhaps discover in these photos - produced nearly sixty years ago - what remains when everything seems to change, and, behind its increasing Westernisation, they may glimpse a hidden thread of timelessness"--Publisher website.
This book is a photographic journey through 1960s China.
The Capital of Heaven is the noblest peak of Huang Shan, the mountain range of central China that has been an inspiration to artists throughout Chinese history. Internationally acclaimed photographer Marc Riboud was enraptured by the beauty and mystery of Huang Shan and provides here a work of profound insight and transcendent beauty--a gorgeous book that will appeal to lovers of China, of photography and painting, of Eastern culture, and of myth. 87 full-color photos.
Using the alphabet as guide, this lyrical photo book journeys into times and places marked by dream, history and anticipation.
This exceptonally strong and dynamic series of street photographs of New York is the winner of the 1999 European Publishers Award for Photography. As we follow Mermelstein through the city we are staggered by its drama and mystery. We confront characters who seem hyper-real - crazed, paranoid or simply pressured - and we come across incidents which seem totally surreal. Exhilarating and memorable, immensely funny yet deeply disturbing, this is a major work by an established talent. Includes 58 full-colour plates.
"Until recently, the show curated by L. Fritz Gruber for the 1956 photokina in Cologne was considered the earliest Magnum group show. However, an even earlier shows has been rediscovered: Magnum Photo, Face of Time travelled to five Austrian cities in 1955 and 1956. This is the first publication to provide a complete documentation of that show. A total of eighty-three vintage prints by eight Magnum photographers are featured in large-format reproductions. The show's theme was "photographic humanism": people and their everyday surroundings, photographed without sensationalism."--BOOK JACKET.
For the past fifty years, Marc Riboud has traveled the world recording the harmony of landscapes and the beauty in faces in Angkor, Huang-Shan, Vietnam, Istanbul, India, Bangladesh, New York and China. Riboud captures images of history in the making alongside those of everyday life. From a painter balanced like a dancer on the metal girders of the Eiffel Tower to a young girl facing down a rank of riflemen in protest of the Vietnam war, Riboud's photographs reveal a deep passion for seeing, an intrinsic compassion for the human struggle, and an intense and insatiable desire to understand and to comprehend. While many of his photographs depict the anguish of war, others catch the evanescent delight of a swim in a sun-dappled river or children learning to whistle in a Shanghai street. This retrospective book - which includes Riboud's most famous photographs as well as unpublished vintage prints from Leeds in 1954, from Africa, and from Europe - is the first to span his entire career.
