Dark Odyssey

"Not since Goya has anyone portrayed war like Philip Jones Griffiths." - Henri Cartier-Bresson As a photojournalist for over forty years, Phillip Jones Griffith's acute and uncompromising eye has captured all of the brutality and compassion that humanity is capable of. These photographs reveal a grim determination, the act of survival itself, around which the rest of the lives he witnesses exist. His 1971 title, long since out-of-print, Vietnam, Inc. remains an inspiring and essential antiwar document. This monograph and the major touring retrospective it accompanies are a stunning testament to the power of vision in a chaotic world.
