Description

Magnum photographer David Hurn is one of the world’s most influential photographers.

He covered the Hungarian Revolution in 1956, and was at Aberfan in 1966.

He has shot iconic portraits of The Beatles, Hollywood stars such as Sean Connery and Jane Fonda, and leading figures across the arts, politics, science, and sport.

During the seventies he established the acclaimed School of Documentary Photography at Newport.

Throughout his life, he has worked tirelessly to document and interpret his homeland. His current project, Wales: The Land, is a definitive portrait of the landscape of Wales.

The work collects a lifetime of material from David, with accompanying text from Richard King, author of Brittle With Relics (Faber, 2022).

Representing the interface between the landscape of Wales and human intervention in it, the book is celebratory in tone, whilst also exploring attitudes towards the landscape and how it is used to represent Wales to the Welsh and to others.
