Robert Capa’s Work and Legacy through His Famous Pictures

Abstract

This thesis aims to showcase Capa’s work and its influence on politics and society. The first section is Capa’s background and connection to wars, America, and photography. As Robert Capa says, “truth is the best picture, the best propaganda,” but unfortunately, this does not represent Capa’s work truly since his pictures were controversial for a reason. The following chapters will present some of Capa’s most remarkable works and discuss whether they were altered or not.
