Unpublished Color Photos from WWII War Photographer Robert Capa

An amazing set of more than 125 previously unpublished color photographs by war photojournalist and co-founder of Magnum, Robert Capa is being presented at the International Center of Photography in New York.
“Capa regularly used colour film from the 1940s until his death in 1954. Some of these photographs were published in magazines of the day, but the majority have never been printed, seen, or even studied. Over the years, this aspect of Capa’s career has virtually been forgotten. With over 100 contemporary color prints by the famous photojournalist, Capa in Color presents this work an integral part of his post-war career and fundamental in remaining relevant to magazines.”
