		Towell, 49 years old, is the only Canadian photojournalist belonging to the prestigious Magnum agency, an international collective that’s known for its humanist and universal vision.
		Towell shows human communities that are dispossessed, displaced, confronted with violence, with poverty, and attempting simply to survive while protecting their place in the world, a place of refuge and dignity, like the photographer’s home, whose occupants are also the subject of a photographic essay.

		Larry Towell's business card reads only "Human Being." He is also one of those rare photojournalists who, like Robert Doisneau, travels reluctantly and only when the subject is very important to him.
		Towell was raised in a large rural family, the son of an autobody repairman.
		While Towell studied visual arts at York University in Toronto (1972 -1976), he was given a camera and taught how to process fl-and-white film; and he brought the camera home, because there was no place on earth he wanted to photograph more.

		The first of Towell's images dates from 1986, just past halfway through the civil war, the last from 1995, three years after the Salvadoran rebels and President Alfredo Cristiani came together in Chapultapec Palace in Mexico City and signed a peace treaty officially putting an end to the war.
		We see not only the stumps of severed limbs, the crippled children, the gravestones, but also the neediness and the desolation, an overwhelming rural poverty that was there at the outset of the war and that remains there still, a decade and a half and billions of American dollars later.
		Amid all the changes in El Salvador, Towell shows us, there is far too much that has stayed the same: flocks of children still pick their way through the garbage dumps each morning, hoping to fill their stomachs.

	foto8 Reviews: No Man's Land
		We discover from Robert Delpire’s affectionate introduction to No Man’s Land that Towell farms 75 acres of farmland in Canada, is a poet who believes more in the influence of the word than in the power of the image, plays folk guitar and several traditional instruments and performs internationally as a whistler (sic).
		Towell pushes himself towards a disconcerting view of the inanimate as the conflict becomes inexorable.
		Every now and then, Towell takes a side step and photographs some almost irrelevant scene, a shaft of light on cobblestones, symbolically illuminating a stone, a pigeon wandering in the sun by the Wailing Wall while an Orthodox Jew prays, young Hasidic children curiously observing jewellery in a shop window.

	Larry Towell: Photographs

		Towell has frozen violence, the violence of the catapults and the Molotov cocktails and the Kalashnikovs.
		Towell made a two-week trip to Israel and the Palestinian territories, drawn by this latest round of violence in a region he has photographed for almost a decade.
		It was an interest in human rights that led Towell to photograph "the culture of resistance." He recorded the effects of the Contra war in Nicaragua in the 1980s, the war in El Salvador, the mothers of "The Disappeared" in Guatemala, the rebellion in the Chiapas region of Mexico.

		Towell describes the physical and psychological walls that divide Palestinians from Israelis and a land divided against itself in fl and white photographs-many of them epic panoramas-that are simultaneously sad, haunting, breathtaking and beautiful.

		Towell has exhibited widely throughout the world, and his honors are a roll call of the world's leading photography awards, including World Press Photo of the Year, the POY Picture of the Year, the W. Eugene Smith Award, the Oskar Barnak, the Roloff Beny and the Eisie Award.

		Towell remarks: "I thought the situation was hell on earth, but now that so much time has passed, I realize how much better is was then than it is today.
		In 2003 Towell was awarded the inaugural Henri Cartier-Bresson photography prize, which allowed him to complete his project on the Palestinians and the construction of Israel's "security fence." The exhibition is the result of this project and a perfect example of how art can make a compelling and moving political statement.
		Towell, who is also a poet and a folk musician, made soundtracks to accompany his photographs, which plunge the visitor even more deeply into another world.

	Chasing Ray - In the Wake of Katrina by Larry Towell
		Towell’s photos were particularly gripping — austerely fl and white, they reminded readers of shots of war in their starkness and simplicity.
		Towell did not need to use fancy tricks of lighting to show the story of that trip; all he had to do was let the landscape reveal itself, and in the flattened empty streets of Mississippi and flooded avenues of New Orleans, the message was clear.
		Towell’s photographs are not graphic and disturbing in an obvious way — there are no shots of the dead or dying here.

	Larry Towell: El Salvador
		Former World Press Photo winner and Magnum-member Larry Towell (1953), has been working for a considerable period of time on a series of photographs about El Salvador, one of the countries that were featured in the news quite a lot, but now seem to have been forgotten by the media.
		In 1986 Towell went to El Salvador for the first time, while the war ended in the early nineties.
		He became obsessed with personal history and with the fact that though violence or the threat of it is constantly present in that part of the world, people still celebrate the intimacy of the little things in life.

	A Canadian Photography exhibition: 'Palestine, El Salvador, Home'
		In his 60 exhibits which are distributed equally to the three place from which he derived his themes, Larry Towell moves from the brutality which all too often defines our under standing of life of places like El-Salvador and Palestine, to the quite and hopeful dissentions of a rural lifestyle there at his home Canada.
		After the mixture of social upheaval and the resiliency of the human spirit that Towell has witnessed on his travels, it would hardly seem surprising if he were to have more difficulty than most conforming to the materialistic ideals this culture tends to promote.
		Larry Towell was born in Ontario (Canada) in 1953.
