This archival impulse revolutionized art
production over the ensuing decades, paving the way for a conceptually driven use of photography as a means of absorbing the world at large into a new aesthetic realm.
It's a handsome

over the
ensuing decades, was as horrifying and devastating as any other conflict in human history.
