Articoli correlati a Topography Is Fate: North African Battlefields of World...
Some World War II battle sites, such as the D-Day beaches of
Normandy, are well known and frequently visited. The critical
battlefields of the North African campaign, which took place
between June 1940 and May 1943, are particularly
inaccessible, both because of their geographic location and
because they exist within a region that continues to be
affected by political strife and violent upheavals. Yet, in 2011
and 2012, the photographer Matthew Arnold spent several
months traveling from Egypt to Tunisia to document remote
WWII battlefields where Axis and Allied forces fought against
each other and against the elements amid challenging terrain.
Beautifully illustrated with 79 of Arnold’s color images from this project, the book commemorates the 70th anniversary of the end of the North
African campaign.
?A vivid, often haunting look at North African battlefields
that have been silent and largely unobserved for more than
seventy years. Matthew Arnold's photographs are so compelling
that little imagination is needed to see opposing
armies once again sweeping across the desert.”
Rick Atkinson (American author and Pulitzer Prize winner)

Descrizione libro Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Über mehrere Monate fotografierte Matthew Arnold Landschaften in Tunesien, Ägypten und Libyen, die Schauplätze entscheidender Schlachten der Nordafrika-Kampagne (Juni 1940 Mai 1943) der Alliierten im 2.Weltkrieg gewesen waren. Die Orte fand er, indem er mittels alter Kriegskarten den Wegen der alliierten Truppen folgte.Arnold hat die Schlachtfelder in seinem perso nlichen Stil der Land- schaftsfotografie dokumentiert: impressionistisch flirrende Wüstenhorizonte, Küstenstreifen und Grasland, die Bunker, Gräben und andere physische Artefakte des Konflikts beherbergen. Immer noch sind Blindgänger, Stacheldraht und Minen in diesen Landschaften Nordafrikas verstreut und fordern gelegentlich noch heute Opfer, als wolle das Land selbst uns an die Trago die des Krieges erinnern.2013 jährt sich das Ende der Nordafrika-Kampagne zum 70sten Mal. Matthew Arnold (geb. 1972) arbeitet als Fotograf in New York. Nach dem Studium lehrte er Offsetlithografie und digitale Bildbearbeitung an der School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. Für Topography is Fate erhielt er 2013 das MFA Boston Reisestipendium. 144 pp. Englisch. Codice articolo 9783868284041
