Peter Kennard is Britain's foremost political artist and has been at the cutting edge of global political image making since the Vietnam War. Unofficial War Artist brings together the best of Kennard's work from 45 years of his career and accompanies a major retrospective of his work at IWM London, showcasing hundreds of his images related to war and conflict. Throughout the book Kennard's works are presented in their wider context with accompanying facts, data, newspaper clippings, United Nations reports, and testimony from both victims of war and its instigators. The result is a stark and powerful statement about the devastating impact of war and conflict.
Peter Kennard has work in many notable collections around the world, including IWM, Tate, V&A, and Science Museum. He is the author of five books, Domesday Book, Dispatches From an Unofficial War Artist, Images for the End of the Century, and @earth. He is a Senior Research Reader in Photography, Art & the Public Domain in the School of Fine Art at the Royal College of Art where he has worked for over 20 years.
