What is Robert Capa : a graphic biography about?

-If your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't close enough. --Robert Capa Robert Capa: A Graphic Biography is a brilliant portrayal of the career of the great war photographer who, at the time of his death in 1954, had only one wish: to be an unemployed war photographer. -It is not always easy- he said, -to stand aside and be unable to do anything except record the suffering.- Born in 1913 to a Jewish family in Budapest, Endre Friedmann left home at 18 for Germany where he studied journalism and political science and worked in a photo agency darkroom. In 1933, Friedmann went to Paris where he shared a darkroom with Henri Cartier-Bresson and lived with Gerda Taro, also a photographer. Together they contrived the name and image -Robert Capa, famous American photographer-. Capa made several trips to document the Spanish Civil War, where he took the seminal image, -Death of a Loyalist Soldier- for which he was heralded as -the greatest war photographer in the world-. By the start of World War II, Capa was in New York freelancing for LIFE , Time , and other publications. He went abroad with the US army to record Allied involvement in WWII, including D-Day on Omaha beach. Disembar
