Publisher's Synopsis
CHIM is an unprecedented collection of haunting social portraits shot for the newly formed UNICEF in post-World War II. By focusing on children, Magnum co-founder Chim's photos made many people aware of war's most vulnerable victims, thereby promoting the cause of peace. The images - many shown in this monograph for the first time - reveal Chim's unique capacity for engaging with his subjects, creating a style of photography that has influenced Magnum's photographers and generations of artists.
