Robert Capa
photographer
Robert Capa (born Endre Friedmann) was a pioneering Hungarian-American war photographer and photojournalist. Born in Budapest in 1913, he fled to Berlin in 1930 where he studied journalism. He gained international prominence in the mid-1930s for his dramatic coverage of the Spanish Civil War, which transformed the nature of war reporting through its visceral imagery. Capa was a founding member of Magnum Photos and is widely considered one of the most significant combat photographers in history. His work captured key moments of 20th-century conflicts, including the liberation of concentration camps during World War II and the Korean War. He died in 1954 while reporting on the First Indochina War.[1,6]
