A great exhibition in Barbican displayed in 2 levels showing photos from 60s and 70s of many different cultures like South africa, America, USSR, Asia, West Africa. I wish I could visit again.
Just mentioning 2 favorites:
William Egglestone, 1939, American photographer, brilliant innovator who revolutionised photography with the use of colour and his "war on the obvious"... his democracy of vision."
Eggleston`s subjects are ordinary, seemingly straight forward, yet are transformed by a sense of heightened, near hallucinatory perception".
Shomei Tomatsu 1030, considered the godfather of modern Japanese photography. His images having deep relationship with the real world but he expresses his point of view by visual fragments, elliptical metaphors and sometimes abstracted surface.
