Capa snapped the picture of Gilot and
Picasso turned our to be a very good
one for double portraits. Picasso poses
with his son, Claude, both angled
slightly away from the camera and
both displaying delightfully childish
expressions.
The great joy of those Picasso por-
traits is offset, sharply, by the many
images of grief and sorrow in the exhi-
bition. Capa was able to capture emo-
tional extremes in his photographs, and
that is one great source of their power.
On the face of a Spanish woman,
shawl or cloak concealing her mouth,
and eyes shut, is an overwhelming
sense of pain and suffering. You sense
it as \ ve 1 1 in the tautness of her face
muscles. One of
Capa's most
famous remarks
is, "If your pic-
tures aren't good
enough, you're
not close
enough," and
this photograph,
taken during
the winter of
1936-37, is as
eloquent a
demonstration
of that adage as
you could ever
encounter.
In some
images, the
emotion isn't as
obvious. You
have to search
the many faces
in a photo-
graph. Take

During a Fascist
Air Raid, Bilbao, May 1937, in which
the adults on the sidewalk look mildly
apprehensive. The face of a child, run-
ning in the street, reveals the toll war
takes on those too young to under-
stand its causes.
Though Capa was partisan, he also
saw how there was no monopoly on
suffering by the Allies. A picture of
German prisoners carrying their dead,
taken in Italy on Jan. 4, 1944, is a
memorable commentary on the cruel-
ties of wartime.
He couldn't simply celebrate the
Allied triumph, because he saw the
price it exacted. In Italy, it was the
weeping mothers and the wounded he
photographed most.
Capa said of his depictions of griev-
ing mothers, "Those were my truest
pictures of victory."
That may sound paradoxical. But

then this great war photographer was a
pacifist himself, who surely believed
that depicting the realities of armed
conflict might make others believe as
he did.
In the post-1945 era, Capa made
another, different sort of contribution
to photography. With his friends
Henri Cartier-Bresson and David
Seymour, he helped found and man-
age Magnum, the cooperative interna-
tional photo agency that has yielded
so many indelible images.
He also was deeply impressed by
the rise of the State of Israel, and
during the War of Independence he
was with David Marcus in the battle
for the "Burma Road," Jerusalem's

One of the first books on Israel was
one he put out with the author

Had Capa lived longer, we have to
think he would have produced still
more unforgettable pictures, whether
in battlefields or in more peaceful
settings. L
