London’s Barbican Art Gallery brings for the photograph addicteds most of the Robert Capa and Gerda Taro’s lost negatives about the spanish civil war found recently in mexico after 70 years of desapearing!
Robert Capa is an Hungarian war photographer who was in Spain, from 1936 to 1939, photographing the horrors of the Spanish Civil War. Taro, his girlfriend, was the first woman known to shoot pictures in battle and the first to die in action. Many of Capa’s photographs of the Spanish Civil War were, for many decades, presumed lost, but surfaced in Mexico City in the late 1990s and now you can see them at the Barbican on the “Mexican Suitcase”: THIS IS WAR and ON THE SUBJECT OF WAR exhibitions, until January 25th.
