Capa's pictures were made in his brain-- the camera only completed them | |
You can no more mistake his work than you can the canvas of a fine painter | |
Capa knew what to look for and what to do with it when he found it | |
He knew, for example, that you cannot photograph war because it is largely an emotion | |
But he did photograph that emotion by shooting beside it | |
He could show the horror of a whole people in the face of a child | |
His camera caught and held emotion | |
Capa's images of the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) define a moment of great historic and cultural significance, and are seminal to the development of his career as a photographer | |
These photographs were Capa's first major body of work, and gained him recognition as one of the greatest photojournalists of our time | |
Heart of Spain is devoted entirely to the finest collection of these photographs | |
This volume also features many images never before published, including contact sheets by Capa and his companion Gerda Taro, recently rediscovered in his long-lost notebooks | |
