Framing Conflict: Iraq and Afghanistan - Lyndell Brown and Charles Green

Touring Exhibition

5 November 2008 to 18 November 2013

In March 2007, collaborative artists Lyndell Brown and Charles Green travelled for six weeks through the Middle East, Afghanistan, and the Persian Gulf as the Australian War Memorial’s official war artists. Attached to the Australian Defence Force (ADF), they visited various Australian bases, which were generally part of larger US operations and compounds. Their paintings and photographs continue a tradition of official war art that began during the First World War.

Brown and Green’s works of art record the activities and experiences of the Australian troops. They are contemplative works that reveal new and strange configurations of landscape, culture, and technology. Brown and Green have been creating paintings and photographic works together since 1989.

You can see the paintings, photographs and some of the equipment used by the artists in our collection
