Robert Capa, Berlin & Art through Adversity
“Gerda Taro: Inventing Robert Capa” by Jane Rogoyska.
This looks fascinating. I know of no other war or conflict that acted as more of an inspiration to so many writers, artists and intellects as the Spanish civil war. Waterloo? The Crimean? Perhaps. But it seems the natural heir to Paris in its heyday. Berlin? Now Berlin’s intriguing. How’s this for a plot? Two lovers separated by a wall, reunited decades later after its fall. Been done before? Too doe-eyed? Maybe not. There’s nothing like a fresh perspective.
