Limited Edition Platinum Prints of Iconic Images by Robert Capa
PRESS RELEASE Contact : Amy Wentz Ruder Finn Arts & Communications Counselors [email protected] / 212-715-1551 Limited Edition Platinum Prints of Iconic Images by Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger and David Seymour to be Published in Unique Hand-Bound Collector’s Book Magnum Founders, In Celebration of Sixty Years Provides Collectors Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity to Own Part of Photographic History Santa Barbara, California, June 6, 2007 – Verso Limited Editions, a publisher of handcrafted books that celebrate the work of significant photographers, announced the September 2007 publication of Magnum Founders, In Celebration of Sixty Years . Magnum Founders will include twelve bound and one free-standing rare platinum, estate-stamped prints of iconic images by four visionary photographers who influenced the course of modern photographic history – Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger and David “Chim” Seymour. The collector’s book celebrates the 60 th anniversary of Magnum Photos, a photographic co- operative founded by these four men and owned by its photographer-members. Capa, Cartier- Bresson, Rodger and Seymour created Magnum in 1947 to reflect their independent natures as both people and photographers – the idiosyncratic mix of reporter and artist that continues to define Magnum today. The first copy of Magnum Founders will be privately unveiled on Thursday, June 21 at the Museum of Modern Art, New York – birthplace of Magnum Photos – during the “Magnum Festival,” a month-long series of events celebrating the art of documentary photography. Magnum Founders will also be on view to the public at the Howard Greenberg Gallery, 41 East 52 nd St., New York, beginning on Friday, June 22. -

Project #3: Inspired by… - Description Critique Date - 3/29/19 (Fri) "The world is filled to suffocating. Man has placed his token on every stone. Every word, every image, is leased and mortgaged. We know that a picture is but a space in which a variety of images, none of them original, blend and clash." – Sherrie Levine Conceptual Requirements: In this project, you will do your best to interpret the style of a particular photographer who interests you. You will research them as well as their work in order to make photographs that have a signature aesthetic or approach that is specific to them, and also contribute your ideas. Technical Requirements: 1. Start with the list on the back of this page (the Project Description sheet), and start web searches for these photographers. All the ones listed are masters in their own right and a good starting point for you to begin your search. Select one and confirm your choice with me by the due date (see the syllabus). 2. After choosing a photographer, go on the web and to the library to check out books on them, read interviews, and look at every image you can that is made by them. Learn as much as you can and take notes on your sources. 3. Type your name, date, and “Project 3: Inspired by...” at the top of a Letter sized page. Then write a 2 page research paper on your chosen photographer. Be sure to include information such as where and when they were born, where it is that they did their work, what kind of camera and film formats they used, their own personal history, etc. -

I am a 1944, photographer Robert Capa, in the employ of LIFE gambler. I decided to go in with Company E in the first wave." magazine, was among them. – Robert Capa Perhaps the best known of all World War II combat photographers, the Hungarian-born Capa The ten photos selected from the eleven surviving negatives had made a name for and published by LIFE on June himself well before 19, 1944 ... climbing into a landing craft with men of Company E in the early morning hours of D-Day. He risked his life on more than one occasion during the Spanish Civil War and had taken what is considered the most eerily fascinating of all war photographs. The famous image reportedly depicts the death of Spanish Loyalist militiaman Frederico Borrell Garcia as he is struck in the chest by a Nationalist bullet on a barren Iberian hillside. Capa was known to say, "If your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't close enough." On D-Day, he came close once again. -

Brassai at 52 is the senior member of this group. Both he and Cartier-Bresson have exerted a considerable influence not only on French photography but on the best photography of all Europe. Work by both of these men has been published here in Harpers-Bazaar, and by Cartier-Bresson in Life magazine. Photographs by Robert Doisneau have appeared in Vogue. The work of Izis and Ronis is practically unknown in this country. Exoept for the Cartier-Bressons, all the photographs in the exhibition were taken in Paris or in the provinces of France. This exhibition is part of the Department of Photography^ plan to exhibit work by photographers of other countries and at a later date to include some of the new, younger photographers of France and other nations. -
Remembering Ernst Haas
Special Report: Remembering Ernst Haas September 12, 2016 By Eric Meola “No photographer has worked more successfully to express the sheer physical joy of seeing.” — John Szarkowski, on Ernst Haas Thirty years have passed since the photographer Ernst Haas died on September 12, 1986. Haas was to color photography what Robert Frank was to black and white: a revolutionary. Looking at his work it is impossible to separate the person, his images and his words. Often called the ‘poet’ of photography, no other photographer influenced my generation as much as Haas did, and in a world of sound bites, Instagram and tweets, his writings are a bridge to another time when photography was a profoundly different medium and craft: In every artist there is poetry. In every human being there is the poetic element. We know, we feel, we believe…one cannot photograph art. One can only live it in the unity of his vision, as well as in the breadth of his humanity, vitality, and understanding. There is no formula—only man with his conscience speaking, writing, and singing in the new hieroglyphic "Pamplona, Spain 1956," by Ernst Haas language of light and time. — Ernst Haas Haas was born in Vienna in 1921 and famously bartered several kilos of butter in post-war Europe for his first camera, a Rolleiflex. At the invitation of Robert Capa he joined Magnum in 1949, and in 1951 he moved to the United States. In 1953, Life magazine ran 24 pages of his photographs of New York City in two consecutive issues, and in 1962 a retrospective of his work was the first color photography exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. -
On Photography, History, and Memory in Spain Hispanic Issues on Line Debates 3 (2011)
2 Remembering Capa, Spain and the Legacy of Gerda Taro, 1936–1937 Hanno Hardt Press photographs are the public memory of their times; their presence in the public sphere has contributed significantly to the pictures in our heads on which we rely for a better understanding of the world. Some photographs have a special appeal, or an extraordinary power, which makes them icons of a particular era. They stand for social or political events and evoke the spirit of a period in history. They also help define our attitudes towards people or nations and, therefore, are important sources of emotional and intellectual power. War photography, in particular, renders imagery of this kind and easily becomes a source of propaganda as well. The Spanish Civil War (1936–39) was the European testing ground for new weapons strategies by the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. Both aided their respective sides in the struggle between a Popular Front government— supported mainly by left-wing parties, workers, and an educated middle class—and “Nationalist” forces supported by conservative interests, the military, clergy, and landowners. The conflict resulted in about 500,000 deaths, thousands of exiles, and in a dictatorship that lasted until Franco’s death in 1975. It was a time when large-scale antifascist movements such as the Republican army, the International Brigades, the Workers’ Party of Marxist Unification, and anarchist militias (the Iron Column) united in their struggle against the military rebellion led by Francisco Franco. Foreigners joined the International Brigade, organized in their respective units, e.g., the Lincoln Battalion (USA), the British Battalion (UK), the Dabrowski Battalion (Poland), the Mackenzie-Papineau Battalion (Canada), and the Naftali Botwin Company (Poland and Spain, including a Jewish unit). -

Josef Koudelka Wall Label
The Museum of Modern Art H West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable-. Modernart WALL LABEL JOSEF KOUDELKA February 2^ -April 30, 1975 The Czech photographer Josef Koudelka was born in the Moravian town of Boskovice in 1938, the year in which the cession of the Sudetenland to Germany began the dismemberment of the young Czechoslovakian republic. Koudelka attended the Technical University of Prague, and took his degree in aeronautical engineering. He worked in this field until 1967; since then he has devoted himself entirely to photography. His earlier work as a photographer was concerned largely with interpretation of the theater, and includes a book on Alfred Jarry's Ubu Roi and considerable work for the magazine Divadlo (Theater). In the past decade the major continuing subject of his work has been the Gypsies of Europe. Koudelka left Czechoslovakia in 1968--the year in which the "Prague Spring" was answered with military occupation by the Soviet Union, East Germany, Poland, Hungary, and Bulgaria. He has since traveled in England, France, Ireland, and Spain. The Czech critic Anna F^rova* has noted that photographers in her country have generally regarded the expressive and the documentary functions of ,'heir medium as antithetical. In this view, the artistic potentials of photography are served by idealized interpretations of recognizably poetic subject matter. Photographs with topical relevance, on the other hand, are judged by a utilitarian standard, to which aesthetic values are thought irrelevant. Elsewhere such attempts to divide the role of photography into spiritual and mundane categories have met with little success. -
