Robert Capa: Photographs Book

Robert Capa, whose images of the Spanish Civil War brought home the hideous suffering of that conflict and brought Capa international fame, is the 20th century's most accomplished photographer of warfare. This collection of Capa's work demonstrates that he was more than a war photographer: he was a master of depicting ordinary life in extraordinary circumstances. The volume includes an essay by Cornell Capa, the photographer's brother and the founder of the International Center for Photography, as well as a foreword by Henri Cartier-Bresson.Read More

  • Product Description

    "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 Essay by Cornell Capa. Foreword by Henri Cartier-Bresson. Introduction by Richard Whelan. Hardcover, 11.5 x 8.25 in./192 pgs
