McCULLIN (Donald). - Lot 209

McCULLIN (Donald). Donald McCullin. Milan, Gruppo Editoriale Fabbri, I Grandi Fotografi series, circa 1982. Quarto, illustrated paperback published by the publisher. A volume in the prestigious Italian series *I Grandi Fotografi*, dedicated to the major figures in the history of photography, featuring Donald McCullin, one of the greatest photojournalists of the 20th century. Born in London in 1935, McCullin established himself as early as the 1960s as a privileged witness to major contemporary conflicts. From Cyprus to the Congo, from Biafra to Vietnam, from Cambodia to Lebanon, from Northern Ireland to Bangladesh, he has produced a body of work of exceptional intensity in which aesthetic power is combined with a profound moral reflection on war, suffering, and the human condition. Rejecting any sensationalization of violence, his images—of a dramatic intensity rarely matched—have become icons of modern photojournalism. The book features a selection of his most famous photographs: scenes of combat, civilian populations, portraits of soldiers, victims of famine, as well as social documentary work conducted in London’s disadvantaged neighborhoods. The collection highlights the contrast between the formal rigor of his photographic style and the emotional power of his subjects. Each volume in this collection, edited by Romeo Martinez in collaboration with Bryn Campbell, serves as an excellent introduction to the great masters of photography, thanks to its abundant illustrations accompanied by a biographical and critical introduction. Condition: Good copy.
