"OMAN 1971" is a collection of works by Moroccan-born French photographer Bruno Barbey (1941-2020). As a member of Magnum Photos, Barbey documented periods of change around the world, known for his vibrant colors and poetic compositions, capturing people and landscapes at historical turning points with his unique perspective. This book is a compilation of photographs taken during a trip to Oman in 1971, a time when the country was beginning to show signs of modernization. Published as a catalog by The Empty Quarter gallery in Dubai in 2011, the book captures images of people living in the capital Muscat, desert villages, seaside towns, and mountainous areas, capturing traditional dress, markets, and moments where traditional lifestyles intersect with the movement toward modernization. Barbey's unique colors and compositions vividly convey the breath of history, vividly capturing the quiet tension of Oman at a time of transition and the pride of its people.
