The photographers associated with Magnum have worked with movie-makers since its creation in 1947. <br>Robert Capa, one of the founders of what has become the world’s most prestigious picture agency has many friends in the film business – including Ingrid Bergman, Billy Wilder and particularly John Huston – which gave him, and through him other
Magnum photographers, access to the charmed world of Hollywood.
<br>This connection to the film world has continued to the present day and widened to include movie makers and film stars all over the world. <br>The resulting on-set photographs gathered together in this exhibition include intimate portraits of stars and film directors of twelve selected movies:
Limelight, The Seven Year Itch, Rebel without a Cause, Moby Dick, Suddenly Last Summer, The Alamo, The Misfits, Le Process, Planet of the Apes, Zabriskie Point, L’Importance c’est d’aimer and Death of a Salesman. The exhibition with its great variety of photographers, movies and ovie-stars is a real enchantment for all those who love photography and the moving image.
