About the Business
Don McCullin perhaps the most well known conflict photographer of the 20th Century was featured more than once, a poignant print of Don's was right at the end entitled The Battlefields of the Somme, France 2000. It summed up the mood after all the fighting; what was it for - a field? There we have it, captured in time, a peaceful French field as if Don's own way of signing off the exhibition was PEACE.
Kurt Vonnegut was featured at the start. Kurt was in Dresden in WW2 and from the horrific experience of war he finished every text and essay with the word: 'peace'.
For what might have been forgotten, the collection brings together some of the true horrors of war, especially the Atomic bomb. Matsumoto Eiihi 'Shadow of a soldier remaining on the wooden wall of the Nagasaki military headquarters' 1945 is among them.
