I feel his landscapes are harder to withstand than his war photography. It is as if they reflect all those experiences he had without showing them anymore. A suffering child is a suffering child. But his landscapes are full of dead and wounded people without a single one to see. You see the and you know why they are dark. This abstraction has somewhat more impact than the war pictures. And I do not see any hope. It is completely abandonned. Christian
