Hemingway<br />
and Chums<br />
BARCELONA A war-torn country, a<br />
famous novelist and lost possessions<br />
regained: the dramatic story of the<br />
“Mexican Suitcase” has it all – as visitors<br />
to a new show in Barcelona will testify.<br />
This image of Ernest Hemingway<br />
(centre) enjoying a smoke with two<br />
soldiers, is just one of 4,500 35mm<br />
negatives of the Spanish Civil War, taken<br />
by renowned war photographers Robert<br />
Capa, Gerda Taro and Chim (David<br />
Seymour) which were lost for 70 years.<br />
When Capa fl ed his adopted Paris<br />
home in 1939 ahead of the Nazi invasion,<br />
he entrusted a suitcase of fi lms to a<br />
friend with instructions to hide it.<br />
Somehow the suitcase, by then emptied<br />
into three cardboard boxes, was found –<br />
after travelling thousands of miles by<br />
boat, plane and bicycle – in a dusty<br />
Mexican basement in 2007.<br />
Now, 75 years after the start of the Civil<br />
War, a selection of these powerful images<br />
has gone on display for the fi rst time at<br />
Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya,<br />
giving a rare insight into the movements<br />
of Hemingway, soldiers and civilians<br />
during the confl ict. mnac.cat<br />
