Information and discussion on all aspects of British photographic history
"In post war Britain, between 1946 to 1969 the Arts Council only funded three photography exhibitions."
Can anyone give me more information about this or where I can find more information ?
Thanks _Peter.

Hello Peter,
I came across a reference to an ACGB touring exhibition of John Heartfield's photomontages in 1969 if that's any use. It's mentioned in David Mellor's 'No Such Thing as Society'. Harriet
I have just posted a request for information on photo-exhibitions in Britain 1940-1970. Did you find the information you were looking for on Arts Council exhibitions? Or any others of the same period?
If so, I would be really grateful for whatever information you can let me have.
Thanks. Damian.
The last of these may have been The Art of the Real Exhibition: Photography at the Hayward in 1969. There may have been a Bill Brandt retrospective a couple years earlier, or maybe not until 1970; but I thought the first of these came from MoMA in NYC. I wonder whether his London Blitz pictures were shown by the ACGB earlier. I'm thinking Paul Nash's photographs are a possibility too. I'm curious as to what you eventually learn as to which are the three.
Hi Damian,
I'm not sure if you see all replies on this thread, as I found them useful to confirm information I was already following up on.
I've attached a copy of the final essay, it doesn't cover all of your time frame but it might save you some time if you checkout my references at the back of the essay.
Regards _Peter.
