Until he was killed by Egyptian machine-gun fire while covering the 1956 Suez War armistice, Polish-born David Seymour (also known as Chim) rubbed elbows with the likes of Picasso and Henri Cartier-Bresson, photographing significant international events and sociopolitical developments — solidifying his career after sensitively chronicling the stories of refugees from the Spanish Civil War. Chim: The Photography of David Seymour (1911-1956) examines over 70 images from the prolific photojournalist's impressive oeuvre, which document the rise and fall of the Nazi regime, the aftermath of World War II, rising silver-screen icons, and modern Israel's tumultuous genesis.
