Photo Exhibition by Robert Capa

The Liszt Institute – Hungarian Cultural Centre Delhi, in collaboration with the Capa Center Budapest, is bringing to India a selection of works of one of the most well-known Hungarian-born photographers, Robert Capa. Images on view are selected from a collection of nearly 1000 photographs from the Hungarian National Museum.

Robert Capa (born Endre Friedmann, 22nd October 1913 – 25th May 1954) was a visual chronicler of several 20th-century wars—namely, the Spanish Civil War, the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Second World War, the First Arab-Israeli War and the First Indochina War—both in the world and the Hungarian history of photography. Capa, who covered these wars directly from the battlefield, captured moments from the frontlines and in the heartlands that remain stunning examples of photojournalism and convey the power of images that have been constructed from a deep sense of humanism.
