[2]As horrifying as war is, there is no arguing the fact that much great art has arisen from its ashes: Homer’s Iliad [3], Tolstoy’s War and Peace [4], Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse Five [5] in literature, Picasso’s Guernica [6], Goya’s The Disasters of War [7] in visual art, Grand Illusion [8] and Apocalypse Now [9] in cinema, but no medium has captured war, and all its chaos and misery and valor, the way photography has.
This Veteran’s Day, November 11, The Museum of Fine Arts – Houston [10] will debut the exhibition, WAR/PHOTOGRAPHY: Images of Armed Conflict and Its Aftermath [11]. Spanning 165 years and six continents, the exhibit explores the experience of war through the eyes of photographers.
The exhibition runs November 11, 2012 – February 3, 2013. For ticket information and a schedule of events visit www.mfah.org [10].
