Robert Capa born Endre Ernő Friedmann (Budapest, October 22, 1913 – Thái Bình Province, Vietnam, May 25, 1954) 
Friedman had fled political repression in Hungary when he was a teenager, moving to Berlin, where he enrolled in the university. He worked part-time as a darkroom assistant for income and then became a staff photographer for the German photographic agency, Dephot. He witnessed the rise of Hitler, which led him to move to Paris, where he met and began to work with his professional partner Gerda Taro, and they began to publish their work separately. 
He subsequently covered five wars: the Spanish Civil War, the Second Sino-Japanese War, World War II across Europe, the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and the First Indochina War, with his photos published in major magazines and newspapers.
In 1947, for his work recording World War II in pictures, U.S. general Dwight D. Eisenhower awarded Capa the Medal of Freedom. That same year, Capa co-founded Magnum Photos in Paris. 
His biography is well described in Wikipedia 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Capa

Capas estate is preserved at the International Center of Photography in New York. Many of his photos have been published in numerous books.
Print used in the exhibition SHOTS OF WAR.
