For the Australian war artist George Gittoes, who has ventured onto battlefields in Vietnam, Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and across the Middle East, no single war has defined his career. “I can’t think of another artist who invests so much time and money in researching his subject,” Gittoes says. “People say to me, ‘Why do you keep going back?’ I say, ‘Why don’t more artists go?”‘.”After Iraq I was feeling a sort of post-traumatic stress disorder. I had seen all these soldiers from the film die,” he says. “Now my motto has become ‘make tea, not war’, make dialogue.”.http://www.smh.com.au/news/arts/make-tea-not-war/2007/10/24/1192941148085.html
