Capa in Focus
May 5 2012
Paragraphic / Robert Capa
Robert Capa was a famous photojournalist in the late 1930s to the 1950s. He died covering the First Indo-China War. Many of these photos first appeared in LIFE magazine. This book contains 106 pages of photographs and articles written by Robert Capa, John Hersey, John Steinbeck, William Saroyan, Irwin Shaw, Louis Aragon, and Hemingway (on Capa's death). Robert Capa tells how he was arrested as a teenager by the political police in Budapest (he met a revolutionary). He was forced to leave Hungary at 17.
John Hersey tells of the origin of "Robert Capa American photographer". Capa went to photograph the Spanish Civil War and took a snapshot that made him famous. John Steinbeck tells of his friendship and Capa's devotion to his work. Robert Capa tells of a party for Hemingway in 1944 London. On D-Day Capa went ashore with the first wave and took photographs. Most negatives were ruined by a processing accident in a London darkroom.
Capa and other photographers formed a picture agency to produce photographs for magazines. Capa played poker and usually lost. Capa jumped with parachutists to get to the front. Capa's young wife Gerda Taro was killed accidentally while covering the Spanish Civil War. The pages of photographs list the location and year. Most are from the 1930s and 1940s. [The year on page 96 is wrong.] Capa and Steinbeck toured the USSR in 1947. "They are people just like us." Can we live in peace (p.103)?
This small book is only a sample of the events photographed in the 1930s and 1940s.
