| War Artists in Afghanistan: Beyond the Wire Artista: Jules George Pubblicato da Antique Collectors Club Previsto per 2016 Lingua: inglese Specifiche: 23 x 27,5 cm, cartonato, 176 pagine Prezzo: £ 35,00 ISBN-10: 1851497889 ISBN-13: 978-1851497881 Jules George, war artist, traveled to Helmand, Afghanistan, in 2010, in the wake of its bloodiest year for British troops. War Artists in Afghanistan: Beyond the Wire reproduces the remarkable sketches, watercolors and oil paintings born of his experiences with the 2nd Yorkshires (Green Howards). His work captures the vast scale and stunning, fertile beauty of the Afghan landscape, and in its midst, the British soldier, out on patrol, boarding a Chinook or caught in a firefight. The book also features the work of four other war artists in Afghanistan: Douglas Farthing, a former sergeant in the British paratroopers; and Michael Fay, soldier-turned-combat artist for the United States Marine Corps; Arabella Dorman, internationally recognised portrait painter and war artist; and Matthew Cook, trained illustrator, former Times war artist and Territorial Army soldier. Each artist's work is accompanied by their own, first-hand account of war in Afghanistan. Il sito dell'artista: http://julesgeorge.com/index.html
