Robert
Capa: The Definitive Collection
by Richard Whelan
Book Description This is the first book to reproduce the definitive
set of 937 rarely seen and classic images of Robert Capa, one of the most
influential documentary photographers of the twentieth century.
Robert Capa (1913-54), one of the greatest photographers of the twentieth
century and a founding member of Magnum photographic agency, had the mind
of a passionate and committed journalist and the eye of an artist. His
lifework, consisting of more than 70,000 negative frames, constitutes an
unparalleled documentation of a crucial 22-year period (1932-54) encompassing
some of the most catastrophic and dramatic events of the last century.
This book represents the most definitive selection of Capa's work ever
published, 937 photographs meticulously selected by his brother, Cornell
Capa (himself a noted Life photographer), and his biographer, Richard Whelan.
The photographs, arranged in chronological order as stories and accompanied
by brief commentaries, reveal the dramatic shifts in location and subject
matter that Capa experienced from day to day--- from war-torn Israel to
Pablo Picasso on a sunny beach in France and from Ernest Hemingway carousing
in London to Capa's historic images of the Allied landing on Omaha Beach
in Normandy in 1944.

Blood
and Champagne: The Life and Times of Robert Capa
by Alex Kershaw
"It does seem to me that Capa has proved beyond all doubt that the
camera need not be a cold mechanical device," John Steinbeck wrote of photojournalist
Robert Capa in a quote that launches this well-written, exhaustively researched
biography. "Like the pen, it is as good as the man who uses it. It can
be the extension of mind and heart." That’s quite a compliment
coming from an author like Steinbeck, but then Capa won the respect and
friendship of some of the brightest talents of his generation; other admirers
and poker buddies included Ernest Hemingway and John Huston, and among
his many loves was actress Ingrid Bergman. Capa won fame slogging through
the blood and grime to capture vivid images of five different wars, from
the Spanish Civil War (where he wasn't above staging some of his photographs),
through the landings at Omaha Beach on D-Day (which he chronicled for Life
magazine as the only journalist to wade ashore with the first wave of G.I.s),
to the early days of the Vietnam conflict (where he was killed in action
at the age of 41 while covering the French army, soon to be replaced with
disastrous results by the Americans). Born a Hungarian Jew named André
Friedmann, another great writer, John Hersey, famously dubbed the swarthy
chain-smoking photographer "the Man Who Invented Himself," and author Alex
Kershaw contends that one of his greatest achievements was the legend that
he created for himself. A California journalist who contributes to The
Guardian and The Sunday Times Magazine, among others, Kershaw brings Capa
and his times to life with bright, vivid writing and telling anecdotes,
using a fascinating personal odyssey to put the man's professional accomplishments
in perspective. "Capa was the first photographer to make photojournalism
appear glamorous and sexy," he writes. Of course, that distinction and
all others take a back seat to the photos themselves, and this book’s
only shortcoming is that it does not include any examples of the great
man’s work.--Jim DeRogatis - Amazon.com

Heart
of Spain : Robert Capa's Photographs of the Spanish Civil War
by Robert Capa (Photographer), et al
Publisher's Note:
Robert Capa first gained recognition for the images he made during
the Spanish Civil War (1936-39). This volume is the first to be devoted
entirely to the finest of these images. In 1936, the move by Generalissimo
Franco and an alliance of Monarchists and Fascists to overthrow the Spanish
government mobilized anti-Fascist forces from around the world. Like many
others outside Spain, Capa felt he had a responsibility to support the
anti-Fascist cause, and drew worldwide attention to the fight through his
photographs. Capa personalized the struggle of the Spanish loyalists, illuminated
the strength and courage of the soldiers who carried on against insufferable
odds; and galvanized compassion for the innocent and injured. John Steinbeck
praised Capa for his ability to "show the horror of a whole people in the
face of a child". His iconic photograph of a Spanish loyalist, which shocked
the world with its intimacy and drama, epitomizes the power and sensitivity
of his accomplishment. Powells.com
