Sergio Larrain (1931-2012)
Magnum is saddened to announce the passing of Chilean photographer Sergio Larrain. Never afraid to utilize the vertical frame or play with depths of field, Larrain was known especially for his graphic sensibility. Larrain became an associate member of Magnum in 1959 and a full member in 1961. In 1968, he gave up photography to pursue his study of Eastern culture and mysticism. PARIS—Chilean photographer Sergio Larrain, 1967.

Book of the Week RFK Funeral Train by Paul Fusco Thirty-nine years ago this week in Los Angeles, Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated. A funeral train carried his body from New York City to Washington, D.C. In RFK Funeral Train, Paul Fusco documents the funeral train procession. Despite the hot weather, hundreds of thousands of people stood along the train tracks waiting to pay their respects. | Join the Fray © Marilyn Silverstone / Magnum Photos What do you think of these photos? Join the Fray, our reader discussion forum. In all the different types of work I’ve done—editorial, travel, advertising—they’ve all had the same engine driving them, which is that I can’t think of anything that’s better than what happens in real life.
