NYAB Event - Thomas Roma "Dear Knights and Dark Horses"

Thomas Roma "Dear Knights and Dark Horses"

Tabla Rasa Gallery

This event has ended.

“This small, powerful book of photographs pairs children's fantasies of bravery, freedom, and power with the harsh realities of vulnerable, posturing soldiers at the edge of a terrible future. Dear Knights and Dark Horses is a call to consciousness about the realities of war and, like a short, sharp poem, a lament for lost dreams.”
Susan Kismaric, Curator,
The Museum of Modern Art, New York
