A feature in Sunday’s The Observer on Robert Capa’s photograph ‘The Falling Soldier’, (now revealed as a fake), describes it thus……
‘It is still an astonishing image. It captures, or as we now know purported to capture, the very moment of death; legs and torso in a shocking tumble of forced imbalance, seemingly impossible in life, the face neither shocked nor pained, but wholly unknowing; and life, fields, vistas and skies, going on, but suddenly without.’
No it isn’t. Though Capa subsequently produced an amazing body of work, this is a blurred snap of a bloke with a gun falling over.
