David Levinthal, a central figure in the history of American
postmodern photography, has staged uncanny tableaux using toys and
miniature dioramas for nearly forty years. This publication for the
first time assembles the artist's photography on the subject of
war.
Levinthal's combat-related tableaux constitute a remarkable
critique of the ways society experiences conflict through its
portrayal. His groundbreaking project "Hitler Moves East"
(1975-77), a series of imagined scenes from World War II's Russian
front, first established his reputation, becoming a touchstone for
the iconoclastic generation of American photographers that includes
artists like Cindy Sherman and Richard Prince.
The book has a beautifully designed canvas hardcover with
silkscreen print and a dust jacket
