Exhibition - The African Photographs 

George Rodger 

A founding member of Magnum, George Rodger's enduring passion, represented in this exhibition, was Africa. Rodger's career began in the early days of the Second World War when he covered the Blitz of London and Coventry for "Life" magazine. It was "Life" who gave him his first commission in Africa in 1941 where he recorded the struggle of the Allies and their supporters against the forces of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. He returned in 1947 and became a member of the newly founded Magnum Agency, then began a two-year overland journey from Cape Town to Cairo.
