Aperture 113 - Winter 1988
British Photography: Towards a Bigger Picture
The rich fabric of British photography today is woven from a hundred points of view eloquently expressed by photographers young and old, struggling to articulate an image of British life adequate to its variety and energy. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant tradition of photography in postwar Britain, these picturemakers combine a close awareness of the formal heritage of photography with a sense of theatricality and presentation borrowed from the artworld.
