Margaret Bourke-White

In the male-dominated world of early twentieth-century photojournalism, Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971) was a striking exception to the rule. She was the first woman to work for Fortune and Life Magazine. In Russia, she photographed a smiling Stalin and in Georgia the aged mother of the dictator. In 1941, when the first German bombs fell on Moscow, Bourke-White was the only foreign...

Marco van Duyvendijk

If there’s one thing that distinguishes the photography of Marco van Duyvendijk, it is its flamboyant use of colour. Eastern Europe drab and grey? The empty steppes of Mongolia bare and colourless?

The Canary and the Hammer

Gold is ubiquitous in modern life and a potent symbol of value, beauty, purity, greed and political power. In the Canary and the Hammer, Lisa Barnard (UK, 1967) details our reverence for gold, its role in humanity’s ruthless pursuit of progress and its stark reminder of the global west’s determination to accumulate wealth.
