The past, with flying colors

Since joining Magnum in 1964, Barbey has covered news events and social developments in every corner of the globe.

"In the golden age of photojournalism, as a Magnum photographer he was always on the scene; he stood right at the crossroads of history," says Wu Weishan, director of the National Art Museum of China and a correspondent member of the French Academy of Fine Arts.

"Not only did he document China's past, but also, tinged with an insightful sense, he captured its dramatic transformation from a traditional civilization to one in the throes of modernization."
