Robert Capa Exhibition

PDN has news of The ICP exhibition "This Is War! Robert Capa at Work" which displays some of Capa's most important war stories from the 1930s and 1940s, including the D-Day landing, the Spanish Civil War and the Sino-Japanese conflict.

A highlight of the Capa show is a wall displaying all the known photographs Capa and his partner Gerda Taro shot the day of Capa's famous "Falling Soldier" image, also called "Death of a Loyalist Militiaman, Cerro Muriano."

Three concurrent exhibitions at ICP also deal with the Spanish Civil War.

One exhibition is devoted to Taro, who had a romance with Capa and worked by his side as a photojournalist. At times, the two credited their photos as a team, "Capa & Taro." (Both their professional names were assumed. Capa's birth name was André Friedmann and Taro's was Gerda Pohorylle.)

Taro died in 1937 when she was sideswiped by a tank in Madrid. Capa was killed by a mine in 1954 while covering the French Indochina War.
