The volume is illustrated with examples from all of Levinthal's major series to date--including \u003ci\u003eHitler Moves East\u003c\/i\u003e (1972-75), \u003ci\u003eModern Romance\u003c\/i\u003e (1983-85), \u003ci\u003eWild West\u003c\/i\u003e (1986-89), \u003ci\u003eDesire\u003c\/i\u003e (1991-92), \u003ci\u003e Blackface\u003c\/i\u003e (1995-98), \u003ci\u003e Barbie\u003c\/i\u003e (1997-98), \u003ci\u003eBaseball\u003c\/i\u003e (1998-2004) and \u003ci\u003eHistory\u003c\/i\u003e (2010-15). Levinthal's work has been a touchstone for conversations about theories of representation in photography and contemporary art, and through his work, he has investigated the overlapping of popular imagery with personal fantasy in the contexts of romance, sex, war, history, sports, space and social stereotypes. This publication gives readers the opportunity for the first time to consider the full scope of Levinthal's career as an artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 302\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 x 9.7 x 11.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 28, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51772843884832,"sku":"9780935398304","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/e3d9be7fa0646f8dd509137c3ad52548.webp?v=1780415477","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/david-levinthal-war-myth-desire-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
