Description

A collection of iconic photographs from the Second World War and the postwar period creates a visual dialogue on memory, horror, and the legacy of the conflict. Between ruins and reconstruction, the images invite reflection on peace as a fragile achievement and a collective responsibility. Featuring works by Eve Arnold, Werner Bischof, René Burri, Cornell Capa, Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Leonard Freed, Burt Glinn, Erich Hartmann, Thomas Hoepker, Herbert List, Wayne Miller, George Rodger and David “Chim” Seymour.
