A member of Magnum Photos cooperative as of 1955, he photographed in the Middle East and South-East Asia, recording the Six-Day (1967) and Yom Kippur (1973) Wars, as well as the Vietnam War during the 1960s. His many travels took him to Japan and China, across Europe and the Americas to report many of 20th century’s major events. His extraordinary sense for people, their personality and circumstances let him create portraits of celebrities and capture ordinary men and women alike. His iconic picture of Che Guevara with cigar, shot in 1963, is one of the world’s most famous and widely reproduced photographic portraits ever. Lausanne’s Musée de l’Elysée hosts the Fondation René Burri, established in 2013 for the conservation of Burri’s archive. Published in conjunction with an exhibition in spring 2020, the book draws on this unique source. It brings together for the first time Burri’s entire body of work, photographic and non-photographic. Photographs feature alongside previously unpublished documents, book designs, exhibition projects, travel diaries, collages, watercolors, and other objects he collected. It offers a new, multifaceted and uniquely intimate view of one of the world’s greatest photo reporters. Tatyana Franck is director of Lausanne’s Musée de l’Elysée since 2015. Prior to this she has directed the Archives Claude Picasso in Geneva as well as a number of important photography collections, and has curated various exhibitions. New titles 2019–2020 9
