Synopsis

In an almost novelistic fashion, the pictures--presented chronologically--tell as much about the photographer as they do about the times Capa was chronicling. --Margarett Loke, ARTnews

“His coverage of the Spanish civil war established Capa's reputation as a peerless battlefield photojournalist... But he was also a man who loved making pictures of beautiful women, famous men and grand parties. Often overlooked when discussing the Capa legacy, those too, were his life's work. Both Capas--the raconteur of high society and the fearless witness to war--are evident in Robert Capa: Photographs. The two sides of Capa's work may seem irreconcilable, but they're not. He was recording one world. His own.”
--Allison Adato, Life Magazine

Robert Capa was born in 1937 in Budapest and was subsequently driven from Hungary by political oppression. He was first recognized for photographing the Spanish Civil War, and during his lifetime, he photographed some of the most momentous events of the century, including the Japanese invasion of China in 1938, the liberation of Paris and the Battle of the Bulge in World War II, and the founding of Istael in 1948. Away from the front lines. Capa was surrounded throughout his life by such celebrities and luminaries as Ernest Hemingway, Gary Cooper, Ingrid Bergman, and Pablo Picasso. His photographs have appeared in major magazines including Life, Time, Look, Picture Post, The New York Herald Tribune, among others. In 1954, on assignment for Life, Capa went to Vietnam where he was killed by stepping on a land mine.
