To commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Normandy landings, delpire&co editions are honouring two essential works:
Juste un peu flou, presents the work of Hungarian photojournalist Robert Capa (1913-1954).
Sent by the Colliers newspaper to cover the Second World War, Robert Capa left New York for England in 1941. As a reporter and parachutist, he landed with the Allies on Ohama Beach and took images that have become iconic.
Juste un peu flou brings together the texts and photographs of his journey across Europe: from London to the beaches of the D-Day landing, from Italy to North Africa, from newly liberated Paris to Germany in the final days of the conflict.
Lee Miller, Photographs presents the best images of Lee Miller (1907-1977), including a side of his work as a war reporter that is less well known. Bold and determined, armed with her Rolleiflex, she covered the Blitz in London, the siege of Saint-Malo, the terrible battles of the Vosges and the Ardennes, as well as the liberation of Paris and the camps. ‘I have eaten my white bread, now I will face the guns’, she wrote to her brother John in 1940.
