Vu was a weekly French photo magazine founded and edited in Paris by Lucien Vogel (fr) (1886–1954) from March 21, 1938, to May 29, 1940. In 1931, it launched an autonomous supplement entitled LU (fr), international press review translated into French. The influence of this magazine was felt until United States.

History[edit]

The design of the Page is revolutionary, although partly inspired by Berliner Illustrirte Zeitung. The central square given to photography makes it the first large daily systematically illustrated with pictures, while L'Illustration, L'Intransigeant, and Paris-soir, a popular daily, make it a selling point, imitating in this La Vie au Grand Air (fr), and Excelsior (fr), really pioneers (1898 and 1910).

This new form of written journalism offering the primacy to the image benefits from the use in the early 1930s of the photogravure, a high-quality impression process adapted to the high quality prints for the press; But also by the fact that seen responds to a demand for growing images from readers.

The photographers are not called, we come to search.

The editorial is fluctuating: between 1928 and 1937, there are no less than thirty personalities, including Carlo Rim (1930-1934), Louis Martin-Chauffier ...

The premise was located at 65-67 Avenue des Champs-Élysées of Clichy-sous-Bois, in the 93, under the company name, "Les Illustrés bavarois" (The illustrated Bavarian).

Vogel is an experienced and demanding press man. He had launched the Gazette du Bon Ton, L'Illustration des Modes and le Vogue français (Vogue Paris?). In aesthet illuminated by the artistic movements of his time, he had been commissioner of the pavilion Soviet to the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts of 1925 and was sensitive to Constructivism. It gives the magazine a modern graphic line. A large format 28 by 37 centimetres (11 in × 15 in), a logotype created by Cassandre, an artistic direction entrusted to Alexander Liberman from 1933,[1] not to mention a bold photomontage (initiated by Marcel Ichac), sometimes of high artistic quality, the use of mise en abyme, the opposition, brief of the rhythm, as much graphic prowess that bring dynamism to layouts.

Perhaps a better translation[edit]

Vu, stylized as VU, was a weekly French pictorial magazine, created and directed by Lucien Vogel, which was published from March 21, 1928 to May 29, 1940; it ran for just over 600 issues. In 1931, Vogel founded a companion magazine named Lu (read), a survey of the foreign press translated into French; this merged with Vu in March 1937. Vu was the first large weekly to systematically feature photographs in essay form, and as such was an important precursor to, and proponent of, the magazine format of photojournalism (which came to prominence a decade after its print run in magazines such as Life and Look). Although inspired in part by the German magazine Berliner Illustrirte Zeitung, VU featured a constructivist aesthetic and was innovative in its layouts, especially in its double-page spreads. Notable contributors included Cartier-Bresson, Man Ray, Brassaï, and André Kertész (1894–1985). It was particularly advanced in its use of photo-essays. The magazine published special issues:

  • on the Soviet Union (November 18, 1931)[2]
  • Germany (L'énigme allemande, 1932)
  • the ascent of technology (Fin d'une civilisation, 1933)
  • China (May 5, 1934)[3]
  • Spain (VU en Espagne, 1936).
  • Colonization (March 5, 1934)[4]

A major retrospective was hosted by the Maison Européenne de la Photographie (MEP) in late 2006/early 2007"


Vu, in May 1933, published photos of the Nazi concentration camp in Dachau – the first photos of a Nazi concentration camp published, anywhere.[5]
