An essential collection of works by Don McCullin, the legendary photojournalist universally recognized for his war photography and images of urban strife.




Don McCullin is one of the greatest photographers of conflict in our time.  His career has encompassed nearly seventy years – a relentlessly photographed era steeped in conflict.  McCullin’s photographs reveal the bleak underbelly of northern England, wars in Cyprus, Biafra, Vietnam, Cambodia and Beirut, riots in Derry, and famine and disease in Bangladesh.  All are photographed with unswerving compassion.



With all the beauty of classical tragedies, collectively McCullin’s photographs constitute one of the great documents of human conflict and its attendant grief, expressed with a visual lyricism that allows us to glimpse the unbearable.
