Gerda Taro was one of the first women to be recognized as a photojournalist, and as such, the first to be killed while reporting on war. Taro traveled back and forth from Paris to Spain for the first year of the Spanish Civil War; while covering the Battle of Brunete in 1937, she was struck by a tank and died—resulting in Robert Capa dedicating the book Death in the Making, about the war, to her. ⁠ ⁠ Taro's work, while a fundamental part of Death in the Making, was not properly credited for years. In ICP's exhibition Death in the Making: Reexamining the Iconic Spanish Civil War Photobook, new scholarship by curator Cynthia Young reveals the full breadth of Taro's photographic contributions to the book, as well as why this cause spoke so keenly to the photographers involved in its creation.⁠ ⁠ Learn more through the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ Image: Gerda Taro, [Training of the New People's Army, Valencia, Spain], March 1937.
