MOVEMENT - René Burri
His photographs have written history: his work mirrors politics and society, the turning points, triumphs and crises over the course of half a century. Whether it's Burri's 15-year-old portrait of Winston Churchill, or his later depictions of Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, Richard Nixon, Anwar as-Sadat or Muammar al-Kadhafi, all have traveled the world and lodged themselves in the collective consciousness. . Burri's images of the theater of war, of people suffering poverty and calamity, are far removed from sensationalism but no less striking. And as if to contain such horrors, Burri turned his lens with equal intensity to the spheres of beauty and creativity: to the landscapes of Latin America, to great artists such as Picasso and Maria Callas, and to architectural luminaries such as Le Corbusier and Oscar Niemeyer.
