War photography

On Veterans Day, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, Texas kicks off the first of four US stops for War Photography: Images of Armed Conflict and Its Aftermath. The exhibit presents the viewers with five hundred objects, including photographs and photographic equipment. The exhibit includes images from the mid-1800s, as well as from World War One, World War Two, Vietnam, and the most recent engagement in Afghanistan.
The exhibit showcases the work of 280 photographers and captures their dogged determination to record history as it happened, including Joe Rosenthal's iconic, Pulitzer Prize-winning Old Glory Goes Up on Mount Suribachi on Iwo Jima, Robert Capa's Death of a Loyalist Militiaman, Córdoba front Spain, and portraits such as Matthew Brady's Civil War portrait, Major General Joseph Hooker, c. 1863. Admission on opening day is free to all visitors, in recognition of Veterans Day; admission remains free to active-duty military and veterans through the run of the exhibition, which travels to the Annenberg Space for Photography in Los Angeles; the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC; and the Brooklyn Museum, through February of 2014.
