This lecture considers a range of great images produced since 1900, by photographers as diverse as Cartier-Bresson, Weegee, Robert Capa, Garry Winogrand and Edward Burtynsky. The photographs were taken for different purposes, sometimes using different processes, some in colour and others in black and white, but they have one thing in common: they show us the world in novel and unexpected ways.
Barry Venning is an art historian whose interests and teaching range from the art of late medieval Europe to global contemporary art.
