Cornell Capa, photographer, founder of the International Center of Photography, and member of Magnum, died today at 90.
The Times has a nice obit. It doesn’t get much more iconic than Robert and Cornell Capa. Robert was killed by a landmine in Vietnam in 1954. Some of the Robert Capa imagery that’s seared into my brain:
Cornell was protective of his brother’s legacy. When the legitimacy of Death of a Republican Volunteer was in question, Cornell tracked down the soldier’s information. He continued on after Robert’s death as a photographer for Magnum, and in 1974 founded ICP.
Harlem. Savoy Ballroom, 1939
Guatemala, 1953
Buffalo. Robert F. Kennedy campaigning for the Senate, 1964
