Unpublished pictures, letters, publications, covers and magazines, more than 200 documents in all, reveal not only Capa’s work but his extraordinary personality. His life is told in three moments, three characters for one complex figure: André, the Hungarian refugee in Paris (1933-1935); Robert, the war photographer in Spain (1935-1939); and Bob, the most French of American journalists (1939-1954). "Fifty-seven years after his death, Capa’s work and life are like the tombs of the pharaohs: there is always one more to explore. Did he feed his own legend while he was alive? It is not so certain."

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
