Stephen Fry. British actor, writer and film maker
Burt Glinn. Half a Century as a Magnum Photographer celebrates
the compelling, elegant, and expressive ways Burt Glinn experienced the world
through photography. Highlighting his extraordinary talent for picturing iconic and
everyday scenes from the second half of the 20th century, this is the first
monograph covering the breadth of Glinn's storied career.
“I remember Burt’s wit and his lopsided grin when he told stories, which was a lot. He
loved fine things, especially clothes. He had big opinions, high expectations, and an
incredible grasp of the narrative, technical, and administrative aspects of photography.
[...] For more than half a century, Burt covered it all: conflict, celebrities, wildlife, science,
corporations, travel, society, culture. Yet, looking through his archive, his interests clearly
emerge. The chapters in this book present five themes Burt returned to again and
again.”
