Abstract	:	The Iraq war has inspired a proliferation of artists to create work about the physical and psychological trauma of warfare. In doing so, the work of other professional artists, whose work in the past has been viewed merely as "victim" art and of no value to the viewer, is gaining the respect of renowned art critics. This professional project will examine three of these professionals: Nina Berman, a photographer who shoots Iraq veterans who are severely wounded, Laura Ferguson, who pencils detailed images of her spine with scoliosis, and Ted Meyer, who makes oil prints of peoples' scars that are the results of severe accidents or illnesses.
