Museum Shows Capa Images of Invasion of Normandy

English

 
Until now, exhibitions of Capa?s work in Hungary have been ?best of? shows, but the exhibition at the Hungarian Museum of Photography demonstrates his skills by concentrating on a specific period of time, said museum director Péter Baki at the opening.
 
Capa took the photographs in the show between June 6 and August 9 of 1944. The prints were commissioned by ABC Press in 1984.
 
The photographs, never before been shown in Hungary, were acquired from a foundation in the United States with the help of intermediation, Baki said.
 
?Robert Capa ? Memories of the Normandy Invasion? runs until November 20, 2011.
