Dismantled Statue of Stalin, Budapest 1990 (detail)

Magnum

This cover displays a vertical detail of Ferdinando Scianna's horizontal photograph. While the cover cropping emphisizes Stalin's monumentality, the uncropped photo includes a man on the left, pulling the cart, lending the picture a sense of poignency, at the same time recognizing the concept of the worker. Given the image title, one could say the picture itself was dismantled. To view an ucropped version, click here.
