Stefan Lorant: godfather of photojournalism

Abstract

"Michael Hallett first interviewed Stefan Lorant in late 1990 and spent the following years researching and interviewing his subject. In Stefan Lorant: Godfather of Photojournalism, he examines the man's public image, huge ego, manipulative nature, callousness, and love of subterfuge and confusion but also reveals Lorant's warmth, generosity, passion, and extraordinary humanity. In this biography, Hallett also focuses on the emergence of modern mass communication throughout Europe and the United States in the 20th century, highlighting Lorant's place in the development and progress of picture magazines and the editorial process."--Jacket.
