Product InformationThis
encyclopedic art book charts the history of camouflage from its
inspiration in nature, through its adoption by the military, to its
current uses in design and popular culture. Divided into two books
totaling 944 pages, DPM offers comprehensive coverage of this
multifaceted and highly engaging subject. It contains more than 5,000
images by the world's leading nature, military and fashion
photographers. It includes a comprehensive guide to the camouflage
patterns issued to soldiers of 107 nations around the world and
documents the rise of camouflage outside the armed forces - its use by
anti-war protestors in the 1960s, further exploration by modern artists,
and reinvention within areas such as fashion, architecture, music, film
and sport. Depictions of camo-clad cultural icons such as David
Beckham, Robert De Niro, U2, Notorious B.I.G., Ali G, Neneh Cherry and
Joe Strummer illustrate the theme. Rescuing camouflage from its unhappy
associations with war and conflict, this book emphasizes its natural
beauty. It is the modern reference guide for both the novice and the
seasoned camoufleur.
