WAR/PHOTOGRAPHY: Images of Armed Conflicts and its Aftermath
Our copy of the 2013 Kraszna-Krausz book awards winning book War/Photography: Images of Armed Conflict and Its Aftermath by Anne Wilkes Tucker, Will Michels and Natalie Zelt, arrived at Murray Library this morning and is a stunning book that easily made it onto my list of recommendations to seek out on the library shelves.
This beautifully designed catalogue, to support the exhibition originating at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston and touring the USA, includes more than 480 wonderfully reproduced images and supporting essays. The publisher description says:
These images cover conflicts spanning two centuries and six continents and include not only some of the most iconic war images … but also lesser-known yet equally powerful images showing the various facets of war: its brutality, humanity and even humour.
A gallery from the Guardian provides an excellent preview of the quality of the images shared in this publication http://tinyurl.com/bmj4nqm
