Robert Capa, in Focus – TIME
Robert Capa, the legendary Hungarian-born photojournalist who set the prevailing standard for war photographers, spoke seven languages – none very well. He didn’t need to. For over 20 of the bloodiest years of the 20th century, Capa let his cameras do the talking. “If your pictures aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough,” he famously declared.

“He photographed fashion for many of the most influential magazines including Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue and Esquire. His reputation, however, lies mainly in his nudes, in which he frequently managed to convey a sense of the ethereal and of detachment for example ‘Homage to Seurat’ (1964) and ‘The Flying Carpet’ (1989). He also photographed a number of celebrities such as Jane Birkin, Yves Montand and Rudolf Nuryev. Sieff’s work was not solely confined to figurative studies, as he also executed many highly distinctive landscapes.”
