Robert Capa. L’opera 1932-1954
May 14 through October 13, 2024

Possibly the most famous war photojournalist of all times, Robert Capa (Budapest, 1913-Thai Binh, 1954) is best known for the pictures he took during the Spanish Civil War. His "Falling Loyalist Soldier" from 1936 (pictured) has epitomized both the cruelty of violent death and the power of photography once and forever.
.:. Capa's biographers frequently underline his attraction for challenges and the intensity of his life. He was there on D-Day, June 6, 1944, through the subsequent liberation of France from the Nazis and when Israel was born in 1948. He reportedly said that "If your photographs aren't good enough, you're not close enough," and died on duty over a landmine during the First Indochina War. This exhibition, however, intends to highlight the humanitarian side of his job: close to people more than violence.
.:. The name under which Capa entered history is a pseudonym: it means "shark" in Hungarian. His original identity as Endre Ernő Friedmann, from a Jewish middle-class family, led him to resist right-wing politics since the early 1930s.
