Robert Capa

1913–1954

The fearless photographer Robert Capa (born André Friedmann) was hailed as “the greatest war photographer in the world.” Capa was born in Budapest. His métier was conflict and carnage. Over a hectic, globe-trotting career, he shot photos in Normandy, Nuremberg, and Hanoi, risking his own life alongside soldiers. After covering D-Day and Israel’s War of Independence, Capa went to Indochina. He died after stepping on a land mine, a casualty of his compulsion to chronicle mankind’s worst, most destructive tendencies.
