This 720-page 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. DPM contains more than 5,000 images by the world's leading nature, military and fashion photographers. DPM includes a comprehensive guide to the camouflage patterns issued to soldiers of 107 nations around the world and, for the first time in print, thoroughly 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. Drawing on the expertise of an extensive team of consultants, DPM offers comprehensive and authoritative coverage of this multi-faceted subject. Rescuing camouflage from its unhappy associations with war and conflict, this book emphasizes its natural and artistic beauty.
Here is the indispensable modern reference guide for both the novice and the seasoned camoufleur.
