Robert Capa, Hansel Mieth, Otto Hagel: Und weitere Veranstaltungen der Stadt Fellbach zum Thema "Kommen und Gehen - Internationalitat der Region Stuttgart, 26 April bis 11 Juni 2006

The catalogue for an exhibition of work by Robert Capa, Hansel Mieth, and Otto Hagel, held at the Stadt Fellbach-Kulturamt, Fellbach, Germany, April 26 - June 11 2006. Photographers Johanna (Hansel) Mieth (1909-1998) and Otto Hagel (1909-1973) made notable contributions to the development of social documentary practice and photojournalism in the U.S. Mieth and Hagel led lives fervently committed to social and political independence rather than commercial success or fame. Hagel produced major photo stories for LIFE and Fortune but guarded his status as a freelancer and took every opportunity to work outside mainstream media channels. Mieth became a staff photographer for LIFE within the first year of the magazine's publication, in 1936. Her work was a vital part of the magazine for the next decade. In 1940, the couple married in a double ceremony with their friend Robert Capa and his fiancee Toni Sorrel.
