BOCA RATON, FL.- The Boca Raton Museum of Art presents Bill Brandt: A Retrospective, on view through August 27. Bill Brandt (British, 1904-83) is the finest British photographer of modern times. From photojournalism to innovative nude studies to experiments in surrealism, Bill Brandt created more memorable images than any other British photographer of the 20th century. A revolutionary artist who recognized the possibilities of the camera, Brandt fashioned a career that is a study in stylistic changes. In the 1930s and 40s, he captured the sharp social contrasts of English society. During the London Blitz of WWII, he photographed the city by night, finding grim beauty in the bombed-out city and documenting London crowds sheltered in the Underground. Later, Brandt created poetic images of landscapes, portraits and nudes. With an extensive assemblage of 155 vintage gelatin-silver prints from the Bill Brandt Archive in London, this exhibition displays the finest selection of his rare and famous prints. These were the prints that Brandt himself made soon after taking the negatives, sometimes with his own retouching in pen and pencil. Bill Brandt: A Retrospective, curated by John-Paul Kernot, is organized by the Bill Brandt Archive and is circulated by Curatorial Assistance, Los Angeles, CA.
