The RAMM
(Royal Albert Memorial Museum is holding an exhibition by the renown
Devon photographer James Ravilious
from 19 May to 29 July 2012. His pictures reveal real life as it was
being lived in the late 20th century rural England when the country
traditions that have been handed down for hundreds of years were
still part of everyday existence.
This
exhibition features a new selection of photographs, taken by
Ravilious during the 1970s and 1980s. Selected from the 70,000
Ravilious images in the Beaford Archive, www.beafordarchive.org.uk,
familiar photographs will share space with others rarely seen before.
The result is the most intensive record of any rural area in England.
James' pictures are composed with the eye of an artist and above all,
they show his affection and admiration for the people whose lives he
recorded.
I am
really looking forward to viewing this exhibition when it opens and
will review it when I have.
