Description
Brassai, Capa, Kertesz, Moholy-Nagy and Munkasci radically changed the face of photojournalism and art photography between the two world wars. With essays by leading authorities in the field, this stunning book examines the way in which the extraordinary activity of these five men established Hungary as the centre of art photography at the time, and the influence that they have had on succeeding generations of photographers. Illustrated with all of their major works in many cases using archive prints from Hungarian collections, allowing the reader to experience their original textures and tones, the book is a landmark in the study of modern photography.
