For many years the best paid photographer of his time and a profound influence on photographers like Richard Avedon  his work was out of fashion at the time of his death in 1963. Recently  Munkacsi has emerged from history as one of the most significant talents of the twentieth century  having shaped the beginnings of modern photojournalism  set in motion a previously static medium and combined fact-finding accuracy with a highly formal aesthetic standard. Munkacsi was an outstanding representative of the Neues Sehen (New Way of Seeing)  certainly photographys weightiest contribution to advanced art. His fashion and sports photography were both groundbreaking and unmatched. Up until now  however  all this work has been scattered throughout the world  and much of it has been lost  although the Ullstein Archive in Berlin maintains an extensive collection of Munkacsis work from Hungary and Germany. Martin Munkacsi gathers and assembles this mid-century masters images as never before. It contains pictures from each of his artistic phases and several photographs and reports that havent been seen since their initial magazine publications. A major collection featuring 318 tritones  it offers a valuable glimpse of photographys tense  technology-obsessed  glamorous and contradictory beginnings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665850949685,"sku":"ByrdShop_0893815160","price":73.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780893815165.jpg?v=1782410315","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/martin-munkacsi-an-aperture-monograph-9780893815165","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
