The American Soldier
The birth of photography turned the camera into a notebook of history – especially when it came to battlefields and those in uniform.
The American Soldier is a dramatic exhibition of 116 wall-to-wall photographs capturing the essence of American soldiering for more than 150 years. The exhibition guides you through the Civil War, Spanish American War, Boxer Rebellion, World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War, Afghanistan, and the streets of Baghdad.
The exhibition captured the emotions of danger, frustration, humor, camaraderie, death, and victory that American soldiers encountered in this odyssey through history.
Cyma Rubin is the curator and producer of The American Soldier, as well as the curator of the highly successful exhibition, Capture the Moment – The Pulitzer Prize Photographs.
