Sandow Birk: The Depravities of War

November 8, 2007—December 17, 2007

Just as Francisco Goya drew on the prints of the French printmaker Jacques Callot (1592-1635) for inspiration, Sandow Birk now draws on Callot to create a series of prints commenting on the debaucheries of warfare in our times. Using Callot’s Miseries and Misfortunes of War as a starting point and casting their epic compositions in both America and in the ravaged landscape of Iraq, Birk’s prints depict the course of war and its aftereffects.
