Born in Zurich in 1933, René Burri is one of the great photo-reporters. In 1955, his piece on musical education for deaf mute children commissioned by the magazine Science et Vie was published in Life.
In 1956, he was taken on as correspondent at Magnum and became a member of the agency three years later. He produced a large number of photographic reports and portraits (Che Guevara, Picasso), many of which have become famous. He photographed more or less all the major events and conflicts in the second half of the 20th century. But his pictures are more charged with symbolism and meaning than with violence and anecdote.
