Marc Riboud in China
Forty Years of Photography
Preface by Jean Daniel
Translated by Ruth Sharman
|
Marc Riboud joined Magnum in 1955, travelling to the Far East and sending his first picture report on China in 1957. Since then he has visited the country many times, observing and recording the changes that have taken place, seeing Mao's revolution erode until in many respects China has become a mirror of the capitalist West.
The contrast between these two worlds can often be caught more vividly in a single image or pair of images than in analytical prose, and Riboud shows a uncanny instinct for choosing such images. They are brilliantly displayed in this beautifully reproduced book.
