War Games (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783868284126)

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
