For fifty years Magnum photographers, through commissions and their personal work, have produced images that comment on the state of the world. In photographing the landscape they are not just spectators but participants, aware that the land itself has been shaped by man, and that the very notion of a landscape depends on a human viewpoint. As each photographer records, interprets and finds a unique personal style, the variations on a theme are endless - landscapes of war, of agriculture, of industry, of cities and motorways, of desolation, celebration and tranquillity. The photographs gathered in this book invite us to rediscover landscape, and urge us to think more profoundly about the planet earth.","webReviews":"\u003cp\u003e\u0026quot;A collection of cracking landscapes from members of the world renowned picture agency.\u0026quot;\u0026#8212;\u003cem\u003ePractical Photography\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026quot;An inspiring and diverse collection.\u0026quot;\u0026#8212;\u003cem\u003eAmateur Photographer\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026quot;One of the most successful photography books of this year.

But despite the apparent heterogeneity of the collected images, there emerges in the pages... a certain unity, an approach to documenting the physical world that is uniquely Magnum\u0026#8217;s. This approach is rooted in the belief that the very idea of landscape depends on people\u0026#8217;s participation in it... But... these photographers avoid the clich\u0026#233; of people\u0026#8217;s role as destroyer and turn their attention instead to those scenes where human entry into the landscape seems almost tentative, human control tenuous or at risk: Burri\u0026#8217;s image of a sand-covered road in Abu Dhabi, for example, or Larry Towell\u0026#8217;s cover photograph of Mexican Mennonite women caught in a dust storm. It is images such as these that we find \u003cem\u003eMagnum Landscape\u003c/em\u003e\u0026#8217;s particular power... Readers of this book will certainly come away with... an appreciation of the work of some of Magnum\u0026#8217;s lesser-known members... The photographs in this book are strong enough to speak for themselves. They comprise, without question, a powerful collective vision of the world. For that reason, Magnum Landscape is a necessary volume, one which illustrates that Magnum photographers have produced some of the very best work in a crowded, too-often tired genre.\u0026quot;\u0026#8212;\u003cem\u003eThe Photo Review\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026quot;The Magnum book stretches the definition of landscape...\u0026quot;\u0026#8212;\u003cem\u003eThe Picture Professional\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026quot;If you want to see how some of the finest photographers in the world approach landscape, pick up this book...
