New Zealand Images of War by Tony Martin

Paperback, 1990, 143pages, good condition, small corner cut in front end page

How is the reality of the whole army of soldiers churned into mud at Passchendaele reconciled with an austere image of a field of crosses strewn over a blasted landscape? How does an artist render into paint the experience of terror when his own nation's military forces recklessly confront a peace flotilla? What do the rapidly moving images of electronic death mean to a young video player?

By exploring issues such as the heroic code in art, propaganda, censorship and peace art, this book attempts to question the function of visual imagery of war in contemporary society.
