Clásico inobjetable, esta recopilación de toda la obra fotográfica de Robert Capa es uno de los testimonios más representativos e incombustibles del convulso siglo xx. Este volumen reúne toda la obra de Capa, desde sus ensayos sobre el Paris revolucionario de los años treinta hasta sus testimonios del desembarco de las tropas estadounidenses en Normandia; de sus primeras fotografias en Life a los primeros años de la posguerra. La mirada de Capa era incisiva y fria, pero sus discursos visuales rezumaban la intensidad y la emocion del momento captado, el peso del destino cayendo sobre los protagonistas de estas fotos mientras el empujaba su camara frente a ellos.

"Robert Capa: Photographs" is the first true retrospective book of one of the century''s greatest photographers. Drawing upon hundreds of previously unseen images, this collection reveals Capa as one of the great poets of the camera. In these photographs, we see through the eyes of a driven humanist who was also a documentarian of the highest caliber. While previous volumes on Capa have focused on his role as a war photographer, "Robert Capa: Photographs" shows us the remarkable range of his work, which encompasses the sufferings as well as the tenderness, humor and wonder of his subjects. Robert Capa demonstrated not only a passionate commitment to improving the human condition, but also an unfailing eye for graphic impact. Although his photographs remain the definitive visual records of such momentous events as the siege of Madrid, the bombing of Hankou, and the Allied landings on D-day, many of his images have a timeless and universal quality that transcends the specifics of history. A Spanish soldier recoils at the impact of a bullet, the final instant of his life. In a scene of perfect joy, a group of Chinese children laugh at the sky as snow begins to fall. Four farm workers, hauling all the belongings they can manage, trudge grimly away from an apocalyptic backdrop of smoke and ruins: their war-devastated homes. Capa''s images reveal his profound compassion and perceptiveness about our tenuous human state. As Cornell Capa (Robert''s younger brother and the Founding Director Emeritus of the International Center of Photography) writes in his eloquent remembrance: "He managed to travel all over the world, and to communicate his experience and feelings through a universallanguage: photography." "Robert Capa: Photographs" also includes a foreword by Capa''s close friend Henri Cartier-Bresson, as well as an informative historical essay by Capa biographer Richard Whelan. At last, here is the book that reveals Robert Capa in a new light. The extraordinary collection of images in "Robert Capa: Photographs" brings us--through the events of history--to the very heart of humanity.

Resulta imposible evocar hoy día la figura de Robert Capa (1913-1954) sin referirse a sus imágenes de la Guerra Civil española, un acontecimiento que marcaría profundamente su carrera y su vida. Fotografiando con pasion el lado republicano de la contienda, no solo consiguio el reconocimiento internacional como uno de los mas grandes fotografos de guerra del siglo XX, sino legarnos la iconografia mas exhaustiva, y tal vez de mayor calado humano, sobre la primera guerra antifascista en Europa.

Gathers many of the opinions this fresh faced superstar has shared with the world during his years at the top.

La culture américaine des bords de route Art populaire fantaisiste et panneaux faits maison sur les bas-côtés américains Avant que la communication d'entreprise et l'uniformité architecturale ne dominent son paysage, l'Amérique était jalonnée de constructions libres, personnelles et uniques. Enseignes, panneaux, monuments ou immeubles entiers, bringuebalants ou excentriques, semblant tout droit sortis d'un dessin animé ou quasi-psychédéliques. Le photographe John Margolies a passé plusieurs dizaines d'années a débusquer ces exemples accrocheurs, souvent attendrissants et toujours si particuliers, qui bordent encore les petites routes de ce vaste pays, devenant au fil du temps le documentaliste de cette facette éphémère de la culture américaine. Ce livre rassemble environ 400 photographies couleur de panneaux de Grand Rue, cinémas, stations-service, restauration rapide, motels, attractions, mini-golfs et stations touristiques de la côte atlantique. À une époque où le commerce électronique et les centres commerciaux ont transformé le consumérisme américain, l'étude élégiaque menée pendant 30 ans pas Margolies rappelle un passé plus innocent, imprévisible et pittoresque.
