Rene Burri Photographs

Description

"Known the world over for his iconic images of Che Guevara and Brasilia, René Burri is one of the world's greatest living photographers. A member of the prestigious Magnum photo agency, Burri is a photographer whose warmth and egalitarianism have distinguished him from others and afforded him unrivalled access to the major events and personalities of the last 50 years. A giant in the history of photography, Burri is admired and respected by his peers for his sympathetic eye and his ability to capture larger-than-life personalities on film. Now, for the first time ever and featuring many never before published images, Burri's remarkable and adventurous work is brought together in this career retrospective of over 400 duotone photographs. Edited and compiled by distinguished writer Hans-Michael Koetzle in close collaboration with Burri, this book shows us his unique relationship to the major political events, key politicians, artists and cultural figures of the last 50 years." -book jacket.
