What at first appears to be archival images from WW2 combat is actually....toys? I find it amazing how an artist can use different materials not usually associated with the subject matter to create a visceral, unexpected emotional response. From the CR Blog:
Hitler Moves East: A Graphic Chronicle, 1941-43 is a unique photography project from US artists David Levinthal and Garry Trudeau that was originally published in 1977. But the book, which documents the German invasion of the Soviet Union during World War II, isn’t quite what it appears to be at first glance. While all the images are photographs, they’re actually all of toy soldiers arranged upon a series of intricately modelled dioramas.
