Robert Capa Birthday, Date of Birth
Robert Capa (; born Endre Ernő Friedmann, Hungarian: [ˈɛndrɛ ˈɛrnøː ˈfridmɒn]; October 22, 1913 – May 25, 1954) was a Hungarian-American war photographer and photojournalist. He is considered by some to be the greatest combat and adventure photographer in history.
Friedman fled political repression in Hungary when he was a teenager. He moved to Berlin, where he enrolled in college. He witnessed Adolf Hitler's rise to power, which led him to move to Paris. There he met and began to work with his professional partner Gerda Taro, and they began to publish their work separately. Capa's close friendship with David Seymour-Chim was captured in Martha Gellhorn's novella Two by Two. He subsequently covered five wars: the Spanish Civil War, the Second Sino-Japanese War, World War II across Europe, the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and the First Indochina War, with his photos published in major magazines and newspapers.
During his career he risked his life numerous times, most dramatically as the only civilian photographer landing on Omaha Beach on D-Day. He documented the course of World War II in London, North Africa, Italy, and the liberation of Paris. His friends and colleagues included Ernest Hemingway, Irwin Shaw, John Steinbeck and director John Huston.
In 1947, for his work recording World War II in pictures, U.S. general Dwight D. Eisenhower awarded Capa the Medal of Freedom. That same year, Capa co-founded Magnum Photos in Paris. The organization was the first cooperative agency for worldwide freelance photographers. Hungary has issued a stamp and a gold coin in his honor.
He was killed when he stepped on a landmine in Vietnam in 1954, aged 40.
