Born Dawid Szymin in Warsaw  Chim began his career in the early 1930s photographing for leftist magazines in Paris. In 1936  one of these magazines  Regards  sent him to the front lines of the civil war in Spain  along with comrades Robert Capa and Gerda Taro. Although war formed the backdrop of much of his reportage  Chim was an astute observer of 20th-century European politics  social life  and culture  from the beginnings of the antifascist struggle to the rebuilding of countries ravaged by World War II. Like millions of other Europeans  Chim had suffered the pain of dislocation and the loss of family in a concentration camp. His profound empathy for his subjects is evident in his postwar work on child refugees. In this volume  Chim emerges as both a talented reporter and a creator of elegant compositions of startling grace and beauty. The book places Chims work within the broader context of 1930s-1950s photography and European politics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44987656175669,"sku":"ByrdShop_3791352814","price":83.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9783791352817.jpg?v=1770951220","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/we-went-back-photographs-from-europe-19331956-by-chim","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
