Product information "Georgischer Frühling"

This is a book about the Republic of Georgia today. Ten leading Magnum photographers explore contemporary Georgia, Europes romantic and spirited far east, each pursuing an individual theme on their journey, and offering a personal journal in both words and pictures. 20 years since the nation became independent from the Soviet Union, and after a decade of war and failed statehood, Georgia is mounting a feisty comeback. Each visiting photographer has fallen in love with this eccentric country, its culture and people – and it shows on every page of the book. With an introduction by Georgia expert Wendell Steavenson, a timeline, a fold out map marking the photographers journeys, and a chapter featuring 60 years of Magnum's work on Georgia – including Robert Capa's essay from 1948 and Henri Cartier-Bresson's from 1956. Magnum Photos, the great photographers' co-operative, was founded in New York in 1947 and now includes the world's leading contemporary independent documentary photographers and photojournalists.
