Background information
"Like no other, Robert CAPA was able to express the horror of war in photography. But he was not only one of the best photographers in the world who spared no risk to document the horror up close, he was also a bon vivant who frequented the artistic scenes of Madrid, Paris and London. Paris remained the linchpin of his life even after he emigrated to the USA.
The legendary recording of a fatally wounded Spanish freedom fighter suddenly made Robert CAPA world famous.
