Don McCullin
Photojournalist Don McCullin is internationally renowned for his images of conflict. But a new exhibition of his photographs at Tate Britain focuses on three other aspects of his work: his first foreign assignment in divided Berlin in 1961; documentary work on homelessness in East London in the late 60s, and landscape works, both urban, and rural from the 1970s to the present day.
In this short interview, McCullin talks about the exhibition and his sadness a being known only as a war photographer:
If (like me) you are not able to visit the exhibition, a retrospective of McCullin’s work is available from Jonathan Cape, while his photographs of social deprivation are collected in the 2007 book In England. A selection of his war photographs, shown at The Imperial War Museum last year, can be seen in the exhibition catalogue Shaped by War.
