Hiroshima by Poppy Dully -SOLD!

Hiroshima by John Hersey was published in 1946. Hersey put a human face on the bombing of this Japanese city on August 6, 1945.I initially searched for imagery that could tell the stories in Hiroshima. With the reports of Japan's tsunami and earthquake disaster, I was spurred to describe life before natural or man made disasters. I used present day imagery of people in Japan going about their daily lives: children playing with a parachute; a street scene; a family eating at a café; farmers in the field; a food market; a child flying a kite to show how in a moment lives can change forever. This unique artist book has the original cover and title page, six monotypes printed on found pages and bound in an accordion format.
