Synopsis
In 1960, after completing an intense year photographing a notorious Brooklyn street gang called "The Jokers", Bruce Davidson decided that he needed to remove himself from the tension, depression, and potential violence connected to that work. He was given an assignment to photograph Marilyn Monroe during the making of John Houston's film "The Misfits in the Nevada desert", and then travelled to London on a special commission for "The Queen" magazine. Edited by Jocelyn Stevens, "The Queen' was a magazine devoted to British life-style and Davidson was charged, with no specific agenda, to spend a couple of months touring England and Scotland to build a visual portrait of the two countries. "England and Scotland 1960" offers a poetic insight into the very heart of English and Scottish cultures. Reflecting a post-war era in which the revolutions of the 1960s had hardly yet filtered into the mainstream, Davidson's photographs reveal countries riven by difference - the extremes of city and country life, of the landed gentry and the common people - and lucidly portrays the mood of these times in a personal and provocative imagery that is as fresh today as it was in that time.
Published in this book for the first time in its entirety, this is one of the undiscovered gems of late twentieth century documentary photography."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.

Bruce Davidson (Photofile)
Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
