Yuri Rost (Russian: Юрий Рост, born February 1, 1939, in Kiev, Ukraine) is a photographer, journalist, author and traveller. Rost’s photographic vision is closely related to the humanist tradition established by post-war photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson, Leonard Freed, and Ed van der Elsken. He was selected by Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908–2005) for inclusion in his last exhibition, Les choix d’Henri Cartier-Bresson (Paris, 2003) after meeting him in Paris. Yuri Rost has exhibited his works at galleries and museums worldwide. He is the author of numerous books and publications, and is one of the few recipients of Amarcord, a special award founded by Federico Fellini and Tonino Guerra, inspired by design of Sergei Paradjanov. In 2000, Rost was awarded the State Prize of Russia for his cycle of photographs "Group Portrait Against the Backdrop of the Century" ("Групповой портрет на фоне века"), as well as an independent national prize "Triumph – 2000", for his distinguished accomplishments in the visual arts and literature. In 2008, Rost’s book "Group Portrait Against the Backdrop of the Century", based on the 2000 cycle of photographs, received the national "Book of the Year" award. More information...
