After sixty years of war photography, Don McCullin turns his lens to the landscape
Sir Don McCullin grew up in north London. He worked for the Sunday Times for eighteen years and covered every major conflict in his adult lifetime until the Falklands War. The finest British photojournalist of his generation, he has received many honours and awards including the CBE. He received a knighthood in the 2017 New Year honours list. He lives in Somerset.
Wherever they are shot, McCullin’s landscapes – handsomely
reproduced on these pages – share an inky dark magnificence, and an
unsettling sense of menace.
*RPS Journal*
[The Landscape] comes as a timely reminder of the photographer’s
darkness of touch… the large-scale pictures take the reader with
McCullin on a landscape journey both at home and abroad.
*Outdoor Photography*
The veteran war photographer [Don McCullin] has turned his lens to
more peaceful scenes... for his latest book, The Landscape. The
images carry a dramatic feel and a preference for stormy skies that
reveal an intimacy with conflict and destruction.
*Guardian*
Don McCullin's spot in the pantheon of great photographers was
assured decades ago, yet he still produces images that stop a dead
person in their tracks. This new collection mixes recent with past
work, showing how no one has ever been able to accuse McCullin of
wielding a frivolous camera.
*Strong Words*
McCullin… succeeds in making the art of composition seem effortless
on page after page.
*The Scotsman*
