Bill Brandt, A life - Paul Delany - 1st Edition, London, 2004

About the Item

Published by Jonathan Cape, 1st edition, London, 2004. Hardback with English text. A wonderful association city inscribed by Mike Leigh to Jim Broadbent from their time together working on Vera Drake, in small writing on the front free grey endpaper “Jim - With love and thanks….Untitled 03/VeraDrake April 04. Bill Brandt, the greatest of British photographers, who visually defined the English identity in the mid-twentieth century, was an enigma. Indeed, despite his assertions to the contrary, he was not, in fact, English at all. His life, like much of his work, was an elaborate construction. England was his adopted homeland, and the English were his chosen subjects. The England in which Brandt arrived in the Thirties was deeply polarized. He photographed both upstairs and downstairs, and recorded the industrial north as well as the society rounds of the affluent south.
