{"product_id":"9781449428594","title":"Hitler Moves East: A Graphic Chronicle, 1941-43","description":"“A serious chronicle of war and a sympathetic—even moving—portrayal of the soldier’s hopeless stoicism. \" — \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e First published to little notice in 1977, \u003ci\u003eHitler Moves East\u003c\/i\u003e is now widely regarded as a groundbreaking classic of modern photography. In this elegant, large-format limited edition, David Levinthal and Garry Trudeau’s seminal book is finally being presented at a scale that does full justice to their haunting vision of war.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e As the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e pointed out ten years after publication, “Levinthal’s war pictures are radically new,\" and indeed they were.  Using cheap, molded plastic toy soldiers and tanks, art school classmates Trudeau and Levinthal conceived a fascinating new narrative form, a “paper movie,” at once deeply evocative and unabashedly fake. Combining selected archival materials with photographs of 1\/35-scale toys placed in meticulously constructed miniature settings, the two artists conjured up an astonishing reimagining of World War II’s most epic campaign—the German invasion of the Soviet Union. Traveling precariously between fantasy and reality, Levinthal and Trudeau produced a work now recognized as both a sublime graphic manifesto and a powerful documentary of men at war.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Levinthal and Trudeau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47049024635120,"sku":"9781449428594","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781449428594_p0.jpg?v=1763829859","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781449428594","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
