Remembering Cornell Capa

Legendary photographer Cornell Capa was born on this day, April 10, 1918. The younger brother of the iconic photojournalist Robert, Cornell went on to produce his own incredible body of work and was also the co-founder of the International Center of Photography.

Like his brother, Robert, Cornell was a member of Magnum and is best known for his work at Life magazine. His coverage of political campaigns, especially the Kennedy campaign in 1960 is the standard most others are judged by.

"Photography is demonstrably the most contemporary of art forms. It is the most vital, effective, and universal means of communication of facts and ideas between peoples and nations."
