About the Item

War/Photography: Images of Armed Conflict and Its Aftermath (Museum of Fine Arts, Houston). "This catalogue was published to coincide with the exhibition WAR/PHOTOGRAPHY: Images of Armed Conflict and Its Aftermath, organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, November 11, 2012-February 3, 2013. A brilliant production by the Museum of Fine Arts Houston: Photographs by various contributors, THE Who's Who of the history of war photography. Curated with texts by Anne Wilkes Tucker and other prominent scholar-contributors. Indisputably, the one indispensable volume on its subject for our time: War photography, the medium's oldest, and in many ways, most important, genre. "Surveys both iconic and newly-discovered photographs of war and conflict, from daguerreotypes documenting the Crimean and American Civil Wars to digital images made by soldiers in 21st-century Iraq." War imagery is familiar to every modern viewer, which tells us everything about the photographically-based notion we have of reality in general, the reality of war in particular. Such imagery is susceptible to familiarity precisely because the only experience most of us (especially in the West) will have of war is mediated - by photography and its lurid extensions, television and the Internet. "Exhaustive, harrowing, brilliant, and essential" (Vince Aletti). An absolute "must-have" title for photography book collectors. 525 black-and-white and color plates. NPT Books a division of N.P. Trent Antiques has a large collection of used and out of print books on art, architecture, decoration and antiques with a focus on 1st editions, signed and limited editions. We offer free shipping to any domestic address.
