XX “HUMANITY AND INHUMANITY: THE PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNEY OF GEORGE RODGER is a major retrospective of the work and life of George Rodger (1908-1995), one of the founding photographers of Magnum Photos alongside Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, and David "Chim" Seymour. The book traces Rodger's remarkable career through two dramatically different phases: War Photojournalism: Rodger worked for Life magazine during World War II. He photographed the London Blitz and military campaigns across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. He became the only photographer present at the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. The images he made there became some of the most important visual records of Nazi atrocities. The Search for Humanity: Deeply affected by what he saw at Belsen, Rodger turned away from war photography. Beginning in 1948, he undertook extensive journeys through Africa, including a famous overland trip from Cape Town to Cairo. He produced celebrated photographs of African peoples and cultures, seeking images that emphasized dignity, community, and the human relationship with nature. Why the book is important: The title encapsulates Rodger's life's work. The photographs move from some of the darkest examples of human behavior, including war and genocide, to images of resilience, ritual, family, and cultural continuity. Rather than being simply a photo album, the book functions as both a visual autobiography and a history of twentieth-century photojournalism. Many photography historians consider Rodger's career unique because it spans World War II combat coverage, the documentation of the Holocaust's aftermath, the founding of Magnum Photos, and some of the most influential ethnographic documentary photography of the postwar era.”.…

Acerca del autor
George Rodger's career as a photographer was one of constant yet often unsung achievement. He began his photographic career with the BBC as a stills photographer. His baptism as a photo reporter came with his appointment as a stringer for Life magazine during the Blitz on London in the most threatening of days of 1940. Many of his images from that time are still in constant use, because his instinct has always been to concentrate on the humanity of his subjects, even in the face of terrible adversity. It was for Life that Rodger embarked on a series of adventures that were to take him to almost every theatre of World War II in Africa, the Middle East and Asia. His urge to record also found expression on paper, and he was later to publish an enthralling account of these years, and to undertake a lecture tour throughout the United States. The turning-point of his career came with the liberation of Belsen. As for the first few days he was the only photographer present, the images he captured became crucially important in making known the depravity of the camps. Rodger's professional interest led him to join Henri-Cartier Bresson, David Seymour and Robert Capa in founding the greatest picture agency of the post-war era, Magnum Photos. In 1948 he embarked on a campaign of photography rediscovering humanity, starting with an expedition from Cape Town to Cairo by road. He found African tribes almost untouched by European influence, and was able to create images of enormous power that quickly became world-famous.
Bruce Bernard (1929-2000) was a picture editor and writer whose interest in photography dated back to his childhood. His career with images included eight years as Picture Editor of the Sunday Times magazine and four years as Visual Arts Editor of the Independent magazine. Among his previous works are the anthology Photodiscovery (1980), Vincent by Himself (1985) and The Queen of Heaven (1987). He reviewed books and exhibitions for several publications including the Spectator. His most recent book Century (Phaidon, 1999), to which he devoted the last years of his life, is a vast photographic record of the twentieth century.
Peter Marlow was President of Magnum from 1989 to 1993. He started his photographic career in 1977, working on news and features with Sygma. His work has been published internationally and his most recent publication is Liverpool Looking out to Sea (1993).
