Burt Glinn

Burton Samuel Glinn (July 23, 1925 – April 9, 2008) was an American professional photographer who worked with Magnum Photos.

He covered revolutionary leader Fidel Castro's entrance into Havana, Cuba, and photographed people such as Andy Warhol and Helen Frankenthaler.

Glinn's photos show such things as the social scene of the rich, the dirtiness of politics, and the humorous flotilla that called itself the Seattle Tubing Society.

He covered the Sinai War as well as the US Marine invasion of Lebanon[1] and also completed a photo essay project on medical science.

[2] He is survived his wife, Elena Prohaska, his son, Sam, of Manhattan, and his sister, Norma Sue Madden of Pittsburgh.
