René Burri’s wife, Clotilde Blanc Burri, recalled that on assignments, Burri would often take the same photo in black and white and in color, leading him to proclaim: “I led a double life.” This 1983 image, rediscovered in the Paris color archive, captures an enigmatic moment at Courseulles-sur-Mer, a quiet Normandy town known for the Canadian D-Day landings in June, 1944. Burri’s soft, harmonious colors and eye for nuance encapsulate this carefree French summer from over 40 years ago.

THE PROJECT:

Magnum Photos, in partnership with Fujifilm and MPP (Heritage and Photography Library of Paris), presents A World in Color, a historic project to digitize the agency’s Paris color library archive, which has remained dormant for decades.

Stowed away in the late 19th century Saint-Cyr fort are over 43,000 slide sheets, totaling approximately 650,000 color slides, dating from the 1950s to the early 2000s. Many of these images have remained — until now — unseen to the public eye, and untouched for over 20 years. With the help of Magnum’s Archive and Production teams, and the Fujifilm GFX 100 II medium-format digital camera, a selection of these exclusive images are finally being revealed to the public for the first time.
