Robert Capa – Images of War and Peace

Between 1932 and 1954 Robert Capa took the pictures that were to make him legendary as a war photographer. Many of them are photographs from the front line, but even though he is best known for his pictures from the Spanish Civil War and the Normandy landings there was also another aspect to his documentation of warfare – his depiction of the sufferings of civilians. The exhibition at the Nobel Museum (27 September 2007 - 6 January 2008) comprised about 70 photographs and included portraits of several Nobel Laureates that Capa met and worked with. The exhibition was arranged in collaboration with Magnum Photos, the photographic agency in Paris that Capa himself was involved in founding in 1947. read more
