Fine Print: Mujahid guard, Near Kabul, Afghanistan, 1992
Describing himself as a âhistorian of the presentâ, Abbas dedicated himself to documenting the political and social life of societies in conflict. In a career that spanned six decades, he covered wars and revolutions in Biafra, Bangladesh, Northern Ireland, Vietnam, the Middle East, Chile, Cuba, and South Africa during apartheid. The result of a process described by Abbas as âwriting with lightâ, his images occupy a niche that spans both photojournalism and art. Pictured here, a Mujahid of the Hezbi Islami guards the road to the capital.
