About
The archives of the great picture agency Magnum were opened in order to select their best photographs recording the evolution of China from its Nationalist rule fifty years ago, to the Communist country it is today. Included are photographs by Cartier-Bresson, Inge Morath, Marc Riboud, Rene Burri, and Helen Snow. Many of the photographs have not been published in book form before and result in a fascinating portrait of a quickly changing culture.
