A deep dive into the iconic oeuvre of the man dubbed by Picture Post “the greatest war photographer in the world”
Hungarian American photographer Robert Capa (1913–54) lived a short but eventful life. Engaged in the highly dangerous occupation of combat and adventure photography, Capa risked his life many times for his reportage, and ultimately died while at work during the First Indochina War.
This volume traces the main stages of his career, featuring Capa’s most iconic works—images that now loom large in the canon of 20th-century photography. Not only a retrospective of Capa's work, the book also aims to reveal the photographer’s personality through more than 300 of his black-and-white images. Including several points of view of the same event on different occasions, as if to reproduce a movement of field-counter-field, the volume also conveys the cinematic character of his work.
Die Inhaltsangabe kann sich auf eine andere Ausgabe dieses Titels beziehen.
The volume collects a rich selection of photographs from the archives of the Magnum Photos agency, taken by Robert Capa, in a combination of emblematic shots of his work and images that have appeared more rarely. The intent is to hint at some facets of a passionate and ultimately elusive character as Capa was: a courageous witness of his time, a strong, insatiable and at the same time dissatisfied personality, with the traits of a gambler. Therefore, not only the war images that made him one of the most famous photojournalists of the twentieth century, but also lesser-known shots that allow you to appreciate the very high formal quality of his photography and, together with it, his personality.

Rilegato. Zustand: new. A cura di Bauret G. Testo Italiano, Inglese e Francese. Cinisello Balsamo, 2022; ril., pp. 304, 250 ill. b/n, cm 12x24. (Fotografia). «La cronologia dell'opera di Capa, vero e proprio monumento nella storia della fotografia, scandisce le pagine di questo libro ricchissimo di immagini, dando da un lato l'idea della sua vastità e dall'altro delineando il modo in cui il fotografo opera sul campo. Il volume traccia le tappe principali di un percorso la cui brillantezza non ha pressoché eguali, lasciando emergere diverse "icone" da questo corpus eccezionale. I suoi resoconti di guerra ne hanno plasmato la leggenda, come afferma Michel Lefebvre nel suo saggio, ma Capa, pur risultando spesso il primo e il più vicino, ci mostra la realtà anche da altre angolazioni: le sue immagini descrivono momenti che ci rimandano all'uomo, alla sua sensibilità verso vittime e migranti, evocando così il suo viaggio dalla nativa Ungheria. Si dice che la musica riveli se stessa tra le note: questo libro lascia intravedere alcune sfaccettature di un personaggio complesso, intraprendente e indubbiamente mai del tutto soddisfatto, che non esita a rischiare la propria carriera come la propria esistenza. Se Capa ha mostrato una personalità da giocatore, la sua opera assume una dimensione epica che non sfuggirà al finale tragico» (Gabriel Bauret). Libro. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 3918770
