Exhibition: Roger Mayne: aspects of a great photographer

[Michael Pritchard]

Bath's Victoria Art Gallery will be showing the work of Roger Mayne from 26 January-7 April 2013. The exhibition: Roger Mayne: aspects of a great photographer will be his first museum show for 22 years. Born in 1929 Roger Mayne photographed London's street life in the 1950s, capturing its vigour and poverty. Later he photographed his own children and people observed on his own travels. His many friendships with artists influenced his approach to photography and resulted in telling portraits plus a photo essay on the Bath Academy of Art. This show surveys his career and includes rare vintage prints for sale.
