Capa in color

Uittreksel

This exhibition presents Robert Capa's color work for the first time. Capa regularly used color film from the 1940s until his death in 1954. Some of these photographs were published in magazines of the day, but the majority have never been printed, seen, or even studied. Over the years, this aspect of Capa s career has virtually been forgotten. With over 100 contemporary color prints by the famous photojournalist, Capa in Color presents this work an integral part of his post war career and fundamental in remaining relevant to magazines. Drawn entirely from ICP's collection, including contextual publications and personal papers, the exhibition presents a fascinating new look at this master of black and white photography during his centennial year. This exhibition is organized by ICP Curator Cynthia Young.
