Book DescriptionDiffering from other picture books on New York, New Yorkers: As Seen by Magnum Photographers introduces a gallery of eye-catching untamed images of the metropolis, taken by Magnum photographers Known for their independent spirit, they proffer scenes that can best be described as bouncy, cryptic, melancholy, droll, or glamorous, обяйэ often bringing these clashing possibilities together against great odds, in a single image For these pictures to have been on target, they had to be off-kilter-as charged with contradictions as the realities of their subject The photographers featured here come from many countries and armed with a range of purposes, united only by their membership in Magnum Photos, the renowned photo agency As the New York Yankees are respected for the depth of their bullpen, the Magnum photographers are admired for the sharpness of their eye Though best known for reportage of global wars and crises, they have created a New York archive of great magnitude documenting the last sixty years of New York's-and Magnum's-history Of the roughly one hundred and forty photographs in New Yorkers, less then ten percent have been previously published Widely published art critic Max Kozloff selected photographs these pictures more for their pungency then their unfamiliarity Mindful of their story potentials, but with an eye to the visual rhythm of faces and gestures, he sequenced to imply various overlapping themes-for example, the fizz of parties and the momentum of streets, or the hardsell of Times Square and the anger of political demonstrations While the images retain their original captions, they ricochet with multiple meanings Leafing through the book is like walking the streets of New York, beguiled by their implausible and mixed energies, renewed at each turn of a corner Through New York's cafeterias, barbershops, fish markets, subways, its fish markets, and taxi cabs, Chinese or Italian weddings, gyms, protest parades, and fancy balls, the photographers have roamed, photographing the city's denizens with a realism that stings and a wit that sparkles Featured here is surprising work by legends Bruce Davidson, Inge Morath, Dennis Stock, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Ferdinando Scianna, Leonard Freed, Richard Kalvar, Burt Glinn, Elliott Erwitt, Eli Reed, Raymond Depardon, Eve Arnold, and many more New Yorkers: As Seen by Magnum Photographers emphasizes the color work of the Magnum photographers, much of it surprisingly early, and contains an essay by Kozloff, who tackles his offbeat subject with relish Exhibition: January - May 2004 Museum of the City of New York 1220 Fifth Avenue at 103rd Street, New York For more information, please call 212-534-1672.  Редактор:2003 г 176 стр ISBN 1576871851.
