Description

Robert Capa: In the Making A retrospective of iconic and rarely seen images retrace the life and work of Robert Capa, a legendary photojournalist. Born Endre Friedmann in Budapest, Capa adopted an American-sounding name to sell his work more easily. He went on to cover major events, including the rise of Front Populaire in France, the Spanish Civil War, the Second World War, and Indochina, where he was tragically killed by a landmine. This book presents both iconic and lesser-known images from Capa's archives, alongside original magazine features that first appeared. By delving into these archives, it offers valuable context and connection to Capa's life and work. The result is a fascinating portrait of a charismatic and committed photographer who redefined the role of photojournalism. Capa's unforgettable images have lost none of their power to fascinate, and this retrospective provides a unique opportunity to explore his remarkable story.
