Robert Capa (1913-1954)

WOMEN'S MILITIA TRAINING, BARCELONA, 1936. Contact sheet, overall measuring 302 x 236mm, annotated by Cornell Capa "Spain 1936 / Contact sheet of newly found roll in Paris!! Training Women's Militia" in ink with Robert Capa's Magnum stamp verso.

The present contact sheet shows a number of training exercises undertaken by women in the Republican militia. Highlighted with an orange border is one frame that is strikingly similar to Gerda Taro's portrait of a male and female militia member laughing as they rest in two chairs; the subjects are the same, though Capa's frame is horizontal and more closely cropped.

Ex-Collection of Robert Kirschenbaum
