An exhibition of rarely seen, large-scale photographs by one of Britain’s most outstanding photographers Roger Mayne.
Roger Mayne (1929 – 2014) famously documented the children and young residents of Southam Street in West London in the 1950s and 60s. These photographs lead to him becoming one of Britain’s most important post-war photographers. His work has been exhibited widely including at both the V&A and National Portrait Gallery, London.
The photographs on display at THG are taken by Mayne from the 1950s to the 1970s 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.
Alongside this work a selection of Mayne’s photographs for the Shell Guide to Devon, published in 1975 (written by his wife the playwright Ann Jellicoe).
Accompanying this exhibition there is a new book produced by Mayne’s friend David Hibberd and fellow artist Roger Polley.
