Aperture 110 - Spring 1988
The Return of the Hero
In this issue, the heroic motif in symbol and allegory is explored in various interpretations, from the memory of American historical myths alluded to in the mysterious tableaux of David Levinthal, to the satiric war totems of Mark Chambers; from the poignant, awkward heroes of World War I, portraits made by Peter Morello outside Westminster Abbey, to the saga of the anti-hero in words and pictures by Bill Burke, and more.
