About

Abbas, Chris Anderson, Larry Towell, Chris Steele-Perkins, Thomas Dworzak, Raymond Depardon, Eve Arnold, Steve McCurry, Alex Majoli - Bitter Fruit: Pictures from Afghanistan This exhibition features photographs of Afghanistan through the decades; from Eve Arnold's early investigation into the customs of the veil to Thomas Dworzak's found portraits of Taliban fighters, beautified through make-up and an additional layer of hand-colouring. Many Magnum photographers, including Steve McCurry and Abbas, have experienced a long engagement with Afghanistan and McCurry's popular 'Afghan Girl' and work from Abbas' new book 'In Whose Name' is featured in this exhibition. Others such as Paolo Pellegrin, Thomas Dworzak, Alex Majoli and Christopher Anderson have produced startling images on assignment during the American invasion.
