Marc Riboud: The Renowned French Photographer
Revised Content:
The official monograph of Marc Riboud's photography, created in collaboration with the photographer, has been expanded with the addition of twenty-five new images. Throughout his travels, Marc Riboud captured the harmony of landscapes and the beauty in faces, from the ancient ruins of Angkor to the bustling streets of Istanbul, across the diverse landscapes of India and Bangladesh, and from the towering cityscapes of New York to the vibrant culture of China.
Riboud's photographs reveal his profound insight into the human condition, his compassion for the struggles of humankind, and an unwavering desire to understand the plights, triumphs, and daily experiences of others. His work spans a wide range of subject matter, from the anguish of war to the fleeting joys of everyday life. One photograph depicts a painter poised gracefully on the metal girders of the Eiffel Tower, while another captures a young woman bravely facing down a line of riflemen during a protest against the Vietnam War.
Despite the anguish and hardship that Riboud often documented, his work also celebrates the resilience and beauty of the human spirit. He has an innate ability to find delight in the most unexpected moments, such as children learning to whistle on a bustling Shanghai street or the evanescent pleasure of a swim in a sun-dappled river.
An exhibition of Riboud's captivating photography will be on display at the Rubin Museum in New York City, opening on October 17, 2014. This expanded monograph, a collaboration between the photographer and the curatorial team, promises to provide viewers with a deeper understanding and appreciation of Riboud's remarkable artistic vision and his profound impact on the world of photography.
