Exhibition - 50 Years on the Frontline 

Philip Jones Griffiths 

Tackling love, death, frivolity, politics and violence, Griffiths' photographs comment ironically and profoundly on virtually every aspect of human life. This exhibit traces his 50-year journey from his native Wales to his most recent work in post-war Vietnam. His photographs are icons, giving that era a face it will live with forever. Black-and-white photographs and wall texts create a complex vision of meaning and emotion. The collision of culture and ideology is often the basis of the work, offering a gripping and unforgettable view of both the devastations and beauties of our era.
