Key excerpts / pages
Verbatim from the page (fetched 2026-05-22; cached at .scratch/magnum-eve-arnold.html):
- Birth year: “1912”
- Birth place: “Philadelphia, Pennsylvania”
- Death: “January 4, 2012” in “London”
- Magnum: “first became associated with Magnum Photos in 1951”; “became a full member in 1957”
- Quote: “If a photographer cares about the people before the lens and is compassionate, much is given.”
- No specific birth date (month/day) given on this page.
- No mention of The Family of Man on this page.
Notes
- Magnum gives birth year 1912; ICP gives 1913 (see src-icp-eve-arnold-archive). The 1912 reading is corroborated by Wikipedia (April 21, 1912 per src-wikipedia-eve-arnold-pointer). The ICP stub is likely an error; 1912 is the better-supported date.
- First associated 1951 / full member 1957 — consistent with Wikipedia (src-wikipedia-eve-arnold-pointer).
