When Diane Arbus died in 1971 at the age of forty-eight, shewas already a significant influence—even something of alegend—among serious photographers, although only a relativelysmall number of her most important pictures were widely known atthe time. The publication of Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph in1972—along with the posthumous retrospective at The Museum ofModern Art—offered the general public its first encounter with thebreadth and power of her achievements. The response wasunprecedented. The monograph of eighty photographs was edited anddesigned by the painter Marvin Israel, Diane Arbus’s friend andcolleague, and by her daughter Doon Arbus. Their goal in making thebook was to remain as faithful as possible to the standards bywhich Diane Arbus judged her own work and to the ways in which shehoped it would be seen. Universally acknowledged as a classic,Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph is a timeless masterpiece witheditions in five languages and remains the foundation of herinternat

‘The Bitter Years’ was the title of a seminal exhibition held in 1962 at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, curated by Edward Steichen, and 2012 marks its 50th anniversary. The show featured 209 images by photographers who worked under the aegis of the US Farm Security Administration (FSA) in 1935–41 as part of Roosevelt’s New Deal. The Great Depression of the 1930s defined a generation in modern American history and was still a vivid memory in 1962. The FSA, set up to combat rural poverty, included an ambitious photography project that launched many photographic careers, most notably those of Walker Evans and Dorothea Lange. The exhibition featured their work as well as that of ten other FSA photographers, including Ben Shahn, Carl Mydans and Arthur Rothstein. Their images are among the most remarkable in documentary photography – testimonies of a people in crisis, hit by the full force of economic turmoil and the effects of drought and dust storms. The Bitter Years celebrates some of the m

Martin Munkacsi was never at a loss for self-confidence and was proud to be the best-paid photographer of his time. One of the most significant photographers of the twentieth century, Munkacsi shaped the beginnings of modern photojournalism and set into motion the previously static medium of photography. Munkacsi combined journalistic accuracy with a highly formal aesthetic standard, and was an outstanding representative of the Neues Sehen, arguably photographys weightiest contribution to advanced art. He defied convention by incorporating motion, dramatic camera angles and whimsy into his work, creating fashion and sports photography that was groundbreaking and unmatched. Munkacsis work unfortunately did not remain intact: scattered throughout the world, it was to an extent lost. Only the Ullstein Archive in Berlin maintains a fairly extensive collection of his lifes work from his days in Hungary and Germany. This second-edition of Martin Munkacsi combines pictures from all Munkacsis artistic phases w
