Manité was an international photographic cooperative acted 1962 - 1967, owned by its photographer-members, Arild Kristo, Robert A. Robinson and Dan Young, with office in Oslo, Norway. As a comment to the unsafe situation with uneven income that many photographers were in Manité was formed. They considered it was easier to build a position and trademark as a photographer by yourself. Manité was formed by model of Magnum Photos, founded by Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Capa. The images of Manité are characterized by an interest in human and social, which is clearly evident in the Manité Group's many well-known art galleries and projects. In 1998, the Museum of Contemporary Art presented an extensive exhibition, Manité 1962-1967, with photography and film from the group, published by Spartacus Forlag AS, and Museet for Samtidskunst in Oslo.
