David Seymour was often a witness to war, but his subject was rarely the battlefield. Instead, Seymour focused on the individual and human side of war, showing us war’s edges and aftermaths in the people who were its workers and its victims. This selection from the exhibition Reflections of the Heart shows us Seymour’s compassionate treatment of the Spanish Civil War, the tragic consequences of WWII and the fragile environment of the Middle East, where Seymour himself would die a violent death in 1956.
