Eve Arnold, the first woman to become a full member of the Magnum photographers’ cooperative, died last week, at the age of ninety-nine. “To look at her photographs was to be there inside the moment as she experienced it,” Eli Reed, a fellow Magnum member, said. “I learned over time that Eve was a quiet warrior for truth via the photographic image.”
