Eve Arnold, a Magnum photographer since 1951 and revered by her peers and the latest creative generation in equal measure, has photographed many of the great, the famous and the powerful, ranging from politicians and actors to musicians, writers and artists.This survey of an extraordinary career includes not only engaging and intriguing photographs of big stars, many of whom became close friends, but also of everyday people at work and at play around the world. Interleaved throughout the book are five in-depth Photo Stories showing the access and trust Eve gained when covering subjects such as the plight of migrant workers in Long Island, on assignment with Malcolm X, and her landmark In China project. Brimming with images and contributions from friends, colleagues and luminaries, this book places Eve Arnold deservedly at the heart of the canon of photographic greats.

Eve Arnold's work has had much exposure over the last three decades with exhibitions, photographic sales and books. She's almost become a star in her own right as she commands respect from her peers like few others. Even the truly great photographers count her among their favourites. Eve's method of working was to only keep the best shots and destroy the rest, which is unthinkable but has in turn given her an impeccable reputation with one of the greatest photographic legacies in history. She was one the first female members of the Magnum Photos agency in the 1950s (along with Inge Morath).
She travelled extensively the world over with her camera, photographing in China, Russia, South Africa and Afghanistan. Eve often took risks, photographing the Klu Klux Klan, "sitting with the Imperial Wizard as he ranted against Blacks, Vietnamese, Jews, Catholics, homosexuals and women."
She has also photographed some of the most famous people of the age from Queen Elizabeth II to Malcolm X, but her most enduring works are those of Marilyn Monroe, particularly those of which were taken during the shooting of The Misfits.

I have to confess that I bought this more as a 'coffee table' book than a serious, sit down and study work. How wrong I was! This is a challenging but ultimately rewarding collection that presents the world (and an age) in a completely different and often surprising light. I find myself constantly leafing through it and it is now out of sight on my bedside table and nowhere near coffee!
