Founded in Paris in 1928, VU combined breathtaking photographs with dynamic layouts and first-rate reporting, revolutionizing journalism and paving the way for future photo magazines such as Life, Stern, and Paris Match.
VU covered a wide range of eclectic topics such as politics, world affairs, social issues, discoveries, exploration, the arts, sports, and entertainment. It was intended to be an illustrated record of the week’s events—a television news program in print form—and published the work of some of the greatest photographers of the era: Robert Capa, André Kertész, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Brassaï, Man Ray, and others.
This book brings together some of the best work from more than 600 issues of VU: covers, double-page spreads, and full-length features. It serves both as a testament to the prewar world of the 1920s and 1930s and as an unprecedented history of photojournalism in the early 20th century. More than 200 black-and-white illustrations
