Timeline

1916

Werner Bischof (26 April 1916 – 16 May 1954) was a Swiss photographer and photojournalist.

1932

In 1932, having abandoned studies to become a teacher, he enrolled at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Zürich.

While there he studied alongside.

1939

From 1939 on, he worked as an independent photographer for various magazines, in particular, du, based in Zürich.

1945

He travelled extensively from 1945 to 1949 through nearly all European countries from France to Romania and from Norway to Greece.

His works on the devastation in post-war Europe established him as one of the foremost photojournalists of his time.

1948

He was associated into Magnum Photos in 1948 and became a full member in 1949.

At that time Magnum was composed of just five other photographers, its founders Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger, David Seymour, and Ernst Haas.

The focus of much of Bischof's post-war humanist photography was showing the poverty and despair around him in Europe, tempered with his desire to travel the world, conveying the beauty of nature and humanity.

Of photography, Bischof said -

"I felt compelled to venture forth and explore the true face of the world. Leading a satisfying life of plenty had blinded many of us to the immense hardships beyond our borders."

In 1951, he went to India, freelancing for Life, and then to Japan and Korea.

For Paris Match he worked as a war reporter in Vietnam.

1954

Bischof's book Japan (1954) was awarded the Prix Nadar in 1955.

Bischof was born in Zürich, Switzerland.

When he was six years old, the family moved to Waldshut, Germany, where he subsequently went to school.

In 1954, he travelled through Mexico and Panama, before flying to Peru, where he embarked on a trip through the Andes to the Amazonas on 14 May.

On 16 May 1954 his car fell off a cliff on a mountain road in the Andes, and all three passengers were killed.
