EspañolGERDA TARO
'Gerda Taro' (real name 'Gerda Pohorylles'; 1911 in Stuttgart - Spain 1937) was a German war photographer of Polish origins, and close friend, partner, companion and the great love of Robert Capa, also one of the iconographers of the Spanish Civil War.
A left-wing militant, Gerda Taro left Stuttgart for Paris in 1934, where she met Robert Capa. They worked together to cover the events surrounding the arrival to power of the Popular Front in the 30s in France.
When the Spanish Civil War broke out, Gerda Taro went to Spain, accompanied by Capa and others, to cover the events. She acquired the nickname of "''La pequeña rubia.''"
She died on 27 July 1937, the day after being severely wounded on the front, when a Republican tank collided with her car during the retreat of Brunete. The French Communist party gave her a grand funeral, buried her in Paris at Le Père Lachaise Cemetery and commissioned Alberto Giacometti to create a monument for her grave.[1]
