Somerset

‚Conflict – People – Landscape‘ is Don McCullin new show at Hauser & Wirth. This retrospective honors the oeuvre of the leading war photographer who covered in black and white the wars of the late 20th and early 21st century.

From his beginnings in a London suburb to his most relevant social documentaries, ‘Conflict – People – Landscape’ represents the career of McCullin. His Somerset landscapes are shared alongside his Beatles pictures and his most acclaimed war depictions. His images appear as some of the most famous and revealing ones of our era raising the world misery and human constant war state. Before execution pictures and troubling mother and kids despair are revealing of McCullin sensibility and humanity. Not only does McCulin photograph the scenes his sees, he realized striking documentaries about them. From Africa to the Berlin Wall including the Vietnam War, his corpus offers an overview of the most alarming humanitarian disasters in a beautifully captured way.
