Description

A deeply compelling have a look at a tumultuous country, Larry Towell’s photographs are directly powerful and compassionate, revealing a country of violence, heartbreak, strength, and dignity.

Magnum photographer Larry Towell first traveled to El Salvador in 1986 as a member of a human rights delegation. For the reason that beginning of the civil war in 1979, 50,000 other folks had been killed, 25 percent of the population were refugees, and death squads terrorized the nation. The war ended within the early 1990s and Towell had thoroughly documented both the war and its aftermath.

Towell is in all probability one of the vital finest photojournalists since Cartier-Bresson. In these haunting photographs, we see a world by which everyone becomes a combatant and each and every place a war zone. Yet amid the brutality and death there’s a harsh beauty other folks grieve and move on; peasant women wash clothes and nurse infants under the eyes of soldiers; children with hopeful faces forage the dumpsites for food. 62 duotones
