“For the fiftieth anniversary of the newspaper Libération, the book gathers 300 photographs chosen by the editorial board and relates a half-century of news. The photographs are supported by verbatim notes from journalists and photographers who tell the story backstage.

This is half a century told in pictures. The news of recent decades captured and staged in the photographs chosen by Libération. Libé will be 50 years old. 50 years since the newspaper founded by Serge July has been telling, coaching and challenging its time. From the front page poster to the back page portrait, photography has permeated the newspaper like no other. In 50 Years in the Eye of Libé, you will find previously unpublished reports, captioned images and portraits commissioned by the newspaper.”

Bringing immediate history back to life in the flesh has always been the ambitious proposal of the big names at Agence VU’. From Mali military Coup by Françoise Huguier, Beijing Spring in China by Davy, Orange Revolution in Ukraine by Guillaume Herbaut and Red Square in Moscow during the fall of the USSR by Claudine Doury, the photographers have covered the events that have altered the flow of History.
