5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent photographers - and life is not always friendly, June 20, 2000
This review is from: Black Star: 60 Years of Photojournalism (English, German and French Edition) (Hardcover)
"Black Star"? In this case Golden Stars! The book describes in images and text the work of the "Black Star" agency and their member-photographs, and because the agency was founded in a time when photography in newspapers and magazines was becoming a major information source, you will naturally see what has been created for them. So don't expect Art (although some "art" should be shamefull hidden compared to this), but reportage photography from the finest photographers, and pictures of a world which wasn't nice (and still is not for all). The book is also good as a reference for photographers of this time, if you just wish to start collecting.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A good realisation that our lives are not that hard, January 5, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Black Star: 60 Years of Photojournalism (English, German and French Edition) (Hardcover)
The photography in this book is as expected, brilliant. However I found a concentration of grim images giving people a perception that the world is really a dangerous sad place.
