» Review: Lives Less Photographed
This exhibition of pictures,
taken during the three eras of mass slum clearance in the city, make a fascinating snapshot of prewar Brighton.The beauty of them is in the insight it gives into working class lives, which in this era were so rarely recorded as photographic equipment was well out of working class financial reach.
Though the majority of these pictures were taken as a technical document to record why the slums were being cleared, the men behind these cameras saw the beauty and humility in the slums and have delivered up many beautiful compositions. Well worth seeing.
Brighton Art Gallery and Museum,
