The life of Gerda Taro is shrouded in mystery. This short-lived, brave woman was a pioneer of her time and left her mark on history. A photographer who shared the legendary pseudonym Robert Capa with Ernö Friedmann, had no doubts about photographing the conflict from the front line. She is considered to be the first photojournalist to cover a war front, during the Spanish Civil War. She documented the Battle of Brunete and died on the front line, while doing her work. Eighty-one years after her death, John Kiszely published on his Twitter account a personal photograph of his father, a doctor in the International Brigades posted to Brunete, attending to a wounded woman, a previously unpublished photograph that narrated the last moments of Gerda Taro’s life (thanks to the writing on the back of the photo revealing the woman's identity) and which, like her story, it took a long time to become widely known.
She is considered the first woman photojournalist to cover a war front. She signed works made jointly with the photographer Endre Ernö Friedmann under the pseudonym Robert Capa. As Taro Photo, she documented the battle of Brunete in the Spanish Civil War and died in an accident at the front.
