170 Martin Munkacsi Edited by F. C. Gundlach Martin Munkacsi was never at a loss for self-confidence and set great store by the fact that he was the best paid photographer of his time. Indisputably one of the most significant photographers of the twentieth century, he shaped the beginnings of modern photo-journalism and set into motion the previously static medium of photography. Munkacsi combined journalistic accuracy with a highly formal aesthetic standard. He was an outstanding representative of the “Neues Sehen”, arguably photography’s weightiest contribution to advanced art. His fashion photography was groundbreaking and his sports photography was un-matched. Munkacsi’s work did not remain intact. It was scattered throughout the world and, to some extent, lost. Only the Ullstein Archive in Berlin maintains a fairly extensive collection of his life’s work from his days in Hungary and Germany. In this volume Munkacsi’s images have been brought together in a previously unexplored presentation, combining pictures from all his artistic phases and several photographs and bodies of work that have not been seen since their initial magazine publication. Munkacsi’s work reveals a tense, technology-obsessed, glamorous and contradictory epoch. Martin Munkacsi, born in Koloszvár, Hungary in 1896, published his first sports photos in 1921 and in 1927 moved to Berlin, where he worked for Berliner Illustrirte Zeitung, Koralle, Uhu, Die Dame, Vu, Modern Photography and other international magazines. By the time he immigrated to the USA in 1934, he had revolutionized fashion photography. He worked under contract for Harper’s Bazaar, published works in Life to great acclaim and photographed the influential series “How Americans Live” for Ladies’ Home Journal. Munkacsi also worked as an advertising photographer and as a camera man for film productions. Largely forgotten, he died in New York in 1963.
