Tony Ray-Jones - Boy in Museum

£85.00

Boy in York Castle Museum Photograph by Tony Ray-Jones Silver Gelatin print Frame: 20” x 18” Image: 14” x 12” Between 1966 – 1969 as Tony Ray-Jones, driven by curiosity, travelled across the country to document English social customs and what he saw as a disappearing way of life. This small but distinctive body of photographs was part of an evolutionary shift in British photography, placing artistic vision above commercial success. In this short period of time, Ray-Jones managed to establish an individual personal style. He constructed complex images against a uniquely English backdrop, where the spaces between the components of the image were as important as the main subject matter itself. This image is from a photoshoot in 1966, done as a publicity campaign for the York Castle Museum.
