Lecture date: 2002-04-26
Nigel Henderson was one of the most influential artist-photographers of the post-war generation. This symposium, coinciding with the Parallel of Life and Art exhibition at the AA, looks at the broader photographic world in the 1950s, and aims to give a context both to Hendersons value as a post-war British photographer and to the nature of his work – both documentary and experimental.
Short talks by Martin Harrison – Overview of Photography in the 1950’s.
Mark Haworth-Booth – Roger Maynes Street Photography – are followed by a panel discussion with Hendersons contemporary Roger Mayne moderated by the shows curator Victoria Walsh.
Martin Harrison is a photographic historian,
Mark Haworth-Booth is Curator of Photography at the V&A,
Victoria Walsh is the author of Nigel Henderson: Parallel of Life and Art.
