Sources on Korea 5: Werner Bischof Photographs of the Korean War

Date

Body

Our friend Dan Pinkston in Seoul has forwarded us the link to an extraordinary collection of some of the Korean war photos of Werner Bischof. Bischof worked for Magnum, a Paris-based photojournalists collective that included the likes of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Capa. A strong theme running through Bischof’s work is the human devastation of war and poverty. He died in an automobile accident in Peru in 1954 at the age of 38.
