ISBN: 9781896597904.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn explosive conflict, as seen through the eyes of a war artist.\nBagdad Journal is the outstanding culmination of four voyages to war-torn Iraq by artist Steve Mumford. In the long tradition of war artists, particularly Winslow Homers work for Harpers Magazine, Mumford meticulously documents the everyday scenes of Iraq in bold, breathtaking watercolors and drawings and paints a human side of the war that can be lost in the immediacy of photographic and broadcast images.\nNot overtly political, Bagdad Journal presents portraits of life from all sides of the polarizing conflict. With sketch pad and notebook in hand, Mumford illuminates the routine activities of a nation in turmoil-from the individual soldiers of American platoons to Baghdad residents going about their daily lives amid the chaos surrounding them.\nThere will be a traveling exhibit of artwork from Baghdad Journal and presentations by Mumford on his Iraq experience in conjunction with the publication of this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Drawn \u0026 Quarterly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44966530777141,"sku":"ByrdShop_1896597904","price":60.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781896597904_30509fff-c646-467b-8e95-b7ad0b11302c.jpg?v=1778670186","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/baghdad-journal-an-artist-in-occupied-iraq-9781896597904","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
