Today I visited the “This is war, Robert Capa at Work” exhibition at the Nederlands Fotomuseum in Rotterdam. I also participated in the History of photojournalism workshop which was a good combination and a nice way to visit an exhibition. The host of the lecture was Annette Behrens. A lot of photojournalists were reviewed and there were books lying on the table of the photographers which were reviewed (in no particular order):
- Mathew Brady
- Henri Cartier-Bresson
- Robert Capa/Gerda Taro
- Cas Oorthuys
- Martin Parr
- Bertien van Manen
- Boris Mikhailov
- Ad van Denderen Go no Go project See the book over here
- Geert van Kesteren
- Simon Norfolk
- Broomberg&Chanarin
- Alfredo Jaar
- Hans Aarsman See some books (online) over here
It was a day full of impressive imagery a bit overwhelming now and then but definitely worth the little trip to Rotterdam.
And ater the exhibition I went for a little walk and took this picture. Rotterdam is a very photographic city.
