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 This retrospective book-which includes Riboud's most famous photographs as well as unpublished vintage prints from Leeds in 1954, from Africa, and from Europe-is the first to span his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.
