England is a strange place-- funny, complex and sad. Distance yourself from it, experience other cultures-- then look again. That strangeness becomes almost overwhelming. This is a powerful and perceptive view of England in the eighties. Using ideas of 'pleasure, ' Chis Steele-Perkins explores a public, ritual face that cuts across class and location. What we see is not only familiar it is also frequently disturbing. Chris Steele-Perkins is a "Magnum photographer whose work has been seen in most major publications in the world. In 1988 he won both the World Press Photo Oskar Barnack Award and the Tom Hopkinson Award for Photojournalism; in 1989 he won the Robert Capa Gold Medal.

Nuba & Latuka

Nuba & Latuka

This classic series by legendary Magnum photographer George Rodger introduced the Western world to the Nuba peoples of Sudan. In 1949 the photographer and co-founder of Magnum Photos, George Rodger, learned of the Nuba tribe while traveling in the Kordofan region of the Sudan. Remarkably, he was granted permission by the Sudanese government to take pictures of these striking people, who lived as their ancestors had centuries before. After publication in National Geographic magazine, these pictures--as well as Rodger's fascinating journal entries from the shoot--have not been available to the wider public. Now, Rodger's rare softly colored Kodachrome images are gathered in a sumptuous volume, and introduced in an essay by photographer Chris Steele-Perkins. Beautifully reproduced, Rodger's photographs emphasize the muted colors of the Sudanese landscape as well as the Nuba's penchant for vivid body paint, clothing, and jewelry. They are a superb example of early color photography, and a stunning celebration of a little-known tribe that lives in one of the world's harshest environments.
