Hungary and photography might not automatically spring to mind but the central European country is the homeland of legends such as Brassaï, Robert Capa, André Kertész, László Moholy-Nagy and Martin Munkácsi. A new exhibition at the Royal Academy in London celebrates the wealth of these photographers who forged new careers abroad and in doing so influenced the path of modern photography, from Capa’s fearless war photojournalism to Munkácsi’s dynamic fashion images for Harper’s Bazaar. With more than 200 photographs ranging from 1914 to 1989, the exhibition will also feature works by lesser-known names who remained in their homeland, contributing to the country’s rich photographic heritage.
