The photographers' cooperative Magnum was founded in 1947 by Chim, Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and George Rodger. Chim was born in Poland and died tragically at Suez, Egypt, during the Suez Canal war in the Middle East. A very cultured man, he photographed refugees, the Spanish Civil War, Italy, Greece, Hungary, Israel and many other places with intelligence and a keen eye.
