LITERATURE William Manchester (ed.), In our Time. The world as seen by Magnum photographers, London 1989, p. 99. In his famous photograph of the liberation of Paris, Capa exemplifies what his maxim of the necessary closeness of the photographer to the subject means: he shows a victory parade as an overwhelming event. Never before, the photographer said, had so many people been so happy; in the midst of the cheering crowd, his viewfinder had become so wet that the faces in it had blurred.

Silbergelatineabzug, geprintet 1989 auf halbmattem "double-weight" Papier 50,7 x 60,5 cm, in ausgezeichnetem Zustand. Aus originalem "In our Time" Ausstellungsset. Magnum-Ausstellungsblindstempel im unteren Rand rechts, rückseitig Etikett "This photograph is printed from a negative belonging to the estate of Robert Capa" mit Copyrightvermerk. LITERATUR William Manchester (Hg.), In our Time. The world as seen by Magnum photographers, London 1989, S. 99. In seiner berühmten Aufnahme von der Befreiung von Paris zeigt Capa beispielhaft, was seine Maxime von der nötigen Nähe des Fotografen zum Motiv meint: er zeigt eine Siegesparade als überwältigendes Ereignis. Nie zuvor, so der Fotograf, seien so viele Menschen derart glücklich gewesen; inmitten der jubelnden Menge sei sein Sucher so feucht geworden, dass ihm darin die Gesichter verschwammen.
