Abstract

FERRE PANISELLO, Teresa. The photojournalist as a myth: Robert Capa and Agustí Centelles against the backdrop of the Spanish Civil War. Comun. soc [online]. 2018, n.33, pp.249-266. ISSN 0188-252X.  https://doi.org/10.32870/cys.v0i33.6913.

Eighty years after the modernisation of the myth of the war photographer through the figure of Robert Capa during the Spanish Civil War, this article will examine its development and the process of mythification, drawing parallels with Agustí Centelles during the transition to democracy. From that period onwards, media comparisons between the two have been constant, overshadowing the other professionals who covered the conflict, which was ground-breaking from the perspective of visual communication.

Keywords : Photojournalism; Robert Capa; Agustí Centelles; Spanish Civil War; Myth.
