Barbican Art Gallery: This Is War! Robert Capa at Work
D-Day landings, 1944-- Robert CapaAn exhibit of Robert Capa’s photographs, titled This is War! Robert Capa at Work, opened last night at the Barbican Art Gallery in London. The gallery has stated that the exhibit serves to explore the photographers work as well as foster discussion about the “the West’s ‘War on Terror’”. In a sense, the Barbican Art Gallery is stressing that war never changes and that destruction is always the end result. The exhibition includes over 150 images and will be open until January 25th 2009.
