Beyond the Lens exhibitionby Roger Mayne photography from 11 March 2017 to 22 April 2017.
I plan to view this exhibition and the rest of the gallery next week (w/c 27 March) and will write it up here after I've been.
Publicity blurb from the gallery:
Roger Mayne (1929 – 2014) famously documented the children and young residents of Southam Street in West London in the 1950's and 60's. These photographs led to him becoming one of Britain’s most important post-war photographers. His exhibitions have included the V&A and National Portrait Gallery, London.
The photographs on display at THG are taken by Mayne from the 1950's to the 1970's and were hung in a barn at Mayne’s home in Lyme Regis, Dorset. From London street scenes to exotic landscapes, they are crudely mounted photographs shown in their fragile state. They were originally shown at the Arnolfini, Bristol in 1974.
