Reseña del libro "War, Myth, Desire (en Inglés)"
Since the mid-1970s, David Levinthal has been exploring the relationship between photographic imagery and the fantasies, myths, events, and characters that shape contemporary America's mental landscape. War, Myth, Desire is the most comprehensive monograph ever produced on the artist, containing major contributions by curator Lisa Hostetler, contemporary art specialist Joanna Marsh, and commentary by art critic Dave Hickey. The volume is illustrated with examples from all Levinthal's major series to date - including Hitler Moves East, Modern Romance, Wild West, Desire, Blackface, Barbie, Baseball, and History. Levinthal's work has been a touchstone for conversations about theories of representation in photography and contemporary art for four decades, as the artist has investigated the overlapping of popular imagery with personal fantasy in the contexts of romance, sex, war, history, sports, space, and social stereotypes. This books gives readers for the first time the full scope of this major artist's career.
