Magnum was founded in 1947 as an artists’ co-operative by four pioneering photographers; Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, David ‘Chim’ Seymour, and George Rodger. At its core, the legendary photo agency enables photographers to take back control of the copyright to their work. In essence, it allows the artists to have creative freedom. Each year, the Square Print Sale gives buyers the opportunity to buy signed archival-quality prints from a selection of these legendary photographers.
Sir Don McCullin was born in 1935 and grew up in a deprived area of north London. From the 1960s he forged a career as probably the UK’s foremost war photographer, covering events of global importance, including the Vietnam and Biafran wars for the Observer, and other publications. He has also consistently engaged with social documentary practice in cities across Britain as well as documenting the British landscape.
