Timothy Benson ’72, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, November 2023
Imagined Fronts is Benson’s catalog for an exhibition he curated at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Imagined Fronts explores how today’s media spectacle has origins in World War I and the burgeoning mediascape of posters, photography, cinema, illustrated newspapers, and ephemera that made it the first global media war. With some 200 objects by artists, war photographers, and filmmakers as well as soldiers from across several continents, Imagined Fronts explores the intermingling of mass media and the artistic imagination.
