Cloth. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Laura Buxton (illustrator). First Edition. A NEAR FINE, bright, clean, tight copy sans rips/tears, stains, discoloration and interior markings. 50 full page, full color photographic reproductions of Buxton's Balkan War Zone paintings with accompanying descriptive captions. "It was the summer of 1994 when Laura Buxton, her conscience pricked by the tragedy in Bosnia-Heregovina, hitchiked alone thorugh the Balkans. Tossing her boards and bag of painting gear into the backseats of little cars, she attempted to answer her drivers' questions in a polyglot of English, French, Italian, and Slavic. Whe she reached her destination, Mostar-formerly a great cultural crossroads, now cynically nicknamed the "Beirut of the Balkans"-her conscience and her purpose were no more clear. Intitially, she planned to execute a few sketches of the places and people she encountered, but she found herself extremely depressed by the human catastrophe. "I had to make a big decision," she later said. "Either I would give up the whole idea of painting-which I came very close to doing, because I didn't think I was able to paint anything of consequence-and offer myself full-time to a relief agency, or else just let myself feel selfish and go on and paint. I chose the painting." 88 pages. "Ruined Landscapes" is Buxton's Balkan legacy. her curiously unpeopled paintings capture the tragedy of what was ultimately a war on culture and history." $34.95 in publication.
