Rene Burri Biography

(b zurich, 9 april 1933). swiss photographer and film maker. he studied photography under hans finsler at the kunstgewerbeschule in zurich (1949–53), where he also studied film making. after 1955 he worked as a freelance photojournalist for large-circulation illustrated magazines such as life , paris match and stern . in 1956 he became a correspondent for magnum photos in paris and new york. his reputation as a photojournalist was based on his ability to grasp situations requiring a rapid response, while retaining in his photographs a clear structure and composition in such a way that chance itself appears to be constructed. this is apparent in the work undertaken on foreign assignments in the 1950s and 1960s, to places such as egypt during the suez crisis (1956), greece and turkey (1957), korea and japan (1961) and vietnam (1963). as a film maker he is best known for what’s it all about? (1967).
