Présentation de l'éditeur
Il se voit plutôt en promeneur qu'en voyageur, mais il a parcouru la terre, de la Chine à 'l'Arabie, du Viêt-nam au Etats-Unis. Marc Riboud, né en 1923, membre de l'agence Magnum, n'est cependant pas un reporter classique. Rétif à la violence mais happé par la curiosité de voir malgré tout, étranger à la recherche de l'événement, il reste sous le charme du monde. De la Révolution culturelle aux manifs anti-Nixon, inquiet du pouvoir des images,. il attend que la vérité intérieure monte "à la surface des choses".

Présentation de l'éditeur
" Je ne me lasse pas de guetter la surprise, la note juste, cocasse ou émouvante. La beauté est partout. L'étrange aussi, venu à ma rencontre à Shangaï avec ce petit sac oublié dans le jardin du mandarin Yu. On dirait un lapin égaré. " M.R.

Présentation de l'éditeur
For the past fifty years, Marc Riboud has traveled the world recording the harmony of landscapes and the beauty in faces in Angkor, Huang-Shan, Vietnam, Istanbul, India, Bangladesh, New York and China. Riboud captures images of history in the making alongside those of everyday life. From a painter balanced like a dancer on the metal girders of the Eiffel Tower to a young girl facing down a rank of riflemen in protest of the Vietnam war, Riboud's photographs reveal a deep passion for seeing, an intrinsic compassion for the human struggle, and an intense and insatiable desire to understand and to comprehend. While many of his photographs depict the anguish of war, others catch the evanescent delight of a swim in a sun-dappled river or children learning to whistle in a Shanghai street. This retrospective book-which includes Riboud's most famous photographs as well as unpublished vintage prints from Leeds in 1954, from Africa, and from Europe-is the first to span his entire, remarkable career.

Book Description
Surprises of every kind lie in wait for the photographer - they open the eyes and quicken the heartbeat of those with a passion for looking.

Published to coincide with a major retrospective of Marc Riboud's work, this is the first work in English devoted to the entire career of this outstanding twentieth-century photojournalist. Riboud has created some of the iconic images of our time: workmen balanced like dancers on the powerful metal girders of the Eiffel Tower; a young Vietnam war protester facing down a rank of riflemen with a flower in her hand.

Riboud took his first photographs at the age of 14 with his father's Vest Pocket Kodak. Eager to investigate the complexities of contemporary reality, Riboud worked for the legendary Magnum agency, alongside Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, and Chim (David Seymour). Starting in 1955, he traveled all over the world, from Nepal to Alaska, Mexico to Algeria, his camera always at the ready. While many of his shots reveal the anguish of war, others capture the fleeting delights of a swim in a sun-dappled river or children learning to whistle in a Shanghai street. Here are Riboud's best images, presented by those who know him.

Biographie de l'auteur
Born in 1923, Marc Riboud, an engineer by training, has devoted the past fifty years of his life to photography. At the age of thirteen, Riboud's father gave him his own World War I Vest Pocket Kodak, the aged and dented camera that Riboud used to take his very first photographs. Riboud's fortuitous meeting in 1952 with Henri Cartier-Bresson, the man who was later to become his "salutary tyrant" and mentor, led to his membership in the
legendary Magnum agency. He has received several awards in both the U.S. and Europe, and his photographs are some of the most iconic images of our time. Marc Riboud has been the subject of
numerous individual and collective exhibitions in New York, Paris, and Japan. This book was published to coincide with a major retrospective of Riboud's fifty years of photography held at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris
from March to October 2004.
