Magnum Photos
For the third chapter of A World in Color, a project in partnership with Fujifilm and @mpatrimphoto, we shine the spotlight on Belgium, revealing images from the color library archive in Paris for the first time 🇧🇪
Tracing over half a century of color photography, this selection takes us behind the scenes of Belgium’s centuries-old festivals and into the corners of its public spheres.
These unseen images feature @harry_gruyaert's lucid palettes in Liège and Bruges, @leonardfreed’s rare, early color photographs and @fondationreneburri’s vibrant take on street life in 1990s Brussels.
