The Concerned photographer: the photographs of Werner Bischof, Robert Capa, David Seymour ("Chim"), André Kertész, Leo by Cornell Capa
Outstanding collection of photojournalism at its finest from masters of the art form. Many of these photographs transcend our preconceived notion of photojournalism to fine art. Other images show war at its most brutal and while the originals are decades old, the scenes are still as fresh as today's headlines.
A beautiful little picture book of some choice highlights from a career spanning half a century. Capa, founder of New York's International Center of Photography, is one of the most under-realized geniuses of photography as image-maker and impresario.
