Slightly out focus von capa robert (22 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Good. In 1942, a dashing young man who liked nothing so much as a heated game of poker, a good bottle of scotch, and the company of a pretty girl hopped a merchant ship to England. He was Robert Capa, the brilliant and daring photojournalist, and Collier's magazine had put him on assignment to photograph the war raging in Europe. In these pages, Capa recounts his terrifying journey through the darkest battles of World War II and shares his memories of the men and women of the Allied forces who befriended, amused, and captivated him along the way. His photographs are masterpieces -- John G. Morris, Magnum Photos' first executive editor, called Capa "the century's greatest battlefield photographer" -- and his writing is by turns riotously funny and deeply moving. From Sicily to London, Normandy to Algiers, Capa experienced some of the most trying conditions imaginable, yet his compassion and wit shine on every page of this book. Charming and profound, Slightly Out of Focus is a marvelous memoir told in words and pictures by an extraordinary man.…

Gr.-8° (24 x 18 cm.). [3] Bl., 243 S., [1] Bl. mit 118 Abbildungen auf Duotone-Tafeln. Orig.-Leinenband mit tygrogr. Schutzumschlag. Auer 324. Koetzle 81 f. Roth, The Book of 101 Books 126 f. Roth, The Open Book 148 f. - Erste Ausgabe; dritte Buchveröffentlichung des "Greatest War-Photographer in the world" (Picture post 1938) Robert Capa (eig. Endre Ernö Friedmann, 1913-1954). - "The blithe story (with pictures) of the top-notch cameraman whose work keeps interrupting a wonderful romance" (Verlagswerbung). - "Robert Capa was a man of action and a storyteller, and Slightly Out of Focus is his best attempt to tell his story (in the context of his tory) with words and photographs. The book tells the slightly fictionalized tale of Capa's escapades as a war correspondent during World War II, with a love story wrapped around it like a bow. Since Capa intended the book to be the basis for a screer play of a Hollywood movie (perhaps starring Robert Taylor and directed by Frank Capra), he did take some liberties. But Capa understood that fiction and documentary are two sides of the same coin long before the New Journalism. . On his way to not becoming a writer, he became along with his friends André Kertész and Henri Cartier-Bresson - one of the masters of small camera camera photography. His photographs are great because they reveal the comedy in the tragedy of life, and because they never forget their own terrible limitations. "It's not easy," he wrote, "always to stand aside and be unable to do anything except to record the sufferings around one." After covering five wars, Capa stepped on a landmine in Vietnam in 1954 and died at age 41, the first American correspondent killed in Vietnam. When Charlie Rose recently asked Henri Cartier-Bresson (at age 92) if he had any regrets, Cartier-Bresson answered, "I regret that Chim [David Seymour] and Capa were killed too soon"." (A. Roth). - Capa berichtete seit 1936 für die Zeitschriften Vu und Regards über den Spanischen Bürgerkrieg. Sein bekanntestes Bild "Death of a loyalist soldier" wurde am 23. 9. 1936 in Vu veröffentlicht. - "In Spanien entwickelte Capa seinen eigenen Stil - ihm gelang es wie nimandem zuvor, die militärische Aktion mit der Kamera festzuhalten, den Schrecken und die Tragik des Krieges in einem spezifischen Moment einzufangen" (Katharina Menzel in Koetzle S. 82). - Schutzumschlag am Kapital unauffällig restauriert, sehr gutes Exemplar. Original linen binding with typographically printed dust jacket. - First edition; third book publication by the 'Greatest War Photographer in the World' (Picture Post, 1938) Robert Capa (born Endre Ernö Friedmann, 19131954). - Capa reported on the Spanish Civil War for the magazines Vu and Regards from 1936 onwards. His most famous photograph, 'Death of a Loyalist Soldier', was published in Vu on 23 September 1936. 'In Spain, Capa developed his own style he succeeded like no one before him in capturing military action with his camera, capturing the horror and tragedy of war in a specific moment' (Katharina Menzel in Koetzle, p. 82). Dust jacket inconspicuously restored at the top, very good copy.…
