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.

Description
At a crucial moment between two world wars, in a country destabilized by political turmoil, five men changed the face of photojournalism and art photography, and inspired the world. With their groundbreaking shots, Brassai, Capa, Kertesz, Moholy-Nagy, and Munkasci radically redefined photographic practice and theory, giving rise to iconic images and ushering in the modern era. In this stunning book, essays by leading authorities examine the ways in which the extraordinary activity of these five men established Hungary as a crucible of art photography at the time, as well as the influence they have had on succeeding generations of photographers. Illustrated with their major works and a number by their contemporaries--in many cases using archival prints--the book is a landmark study of modern photography.
Praise for Eyewitness: With their keen eyes and dramatic compositions, Capa, Brassa , Andre Kertesz, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Martin Munkasci, and forty-five of their less-famous contemporaries put an indelible stamp on journalism, fashion, and war photography. Their rich black-and-white images are elegantly reproduced in this arresting book. --Minneapolis Star Tribune
