Marc Riboud Av Marc Riboud

Part of the acclaimed Photofile series, this introduction to documentary photographer Marc Riboud features 62 of his most powerful images. Magnum photographer Marc Riboud travelled the world, from Europe to the Middle East and from Vietnam to the United States. Repelled by violence, indifferent to the pursuit of ‘events’, yet irresistibly drawn by the desire to see, he was a reporter under the spell of life itself. Whether covering the Cultural Revolution or the Soviet Union before perestroika, he waited for the inner truth to ‘rise to the surface of things’. These photographs reveal his intense awareness of the innate power of each image. The Photofile Series Photofile brings together the best work of the world’s greatest photographers in an attractive, accessible, pocket-sized format. Handsome and collectable, the books are printed to the highest standards. Each one contains over sixty full-page reproductions printed in superb duotone, together with a critical introduction and a full bibliography.
