James Ravilious, whose work I discussed earlier on the blog here, has an exhibition of work currently on display at the National Theatre in London to marks the tenth anniversary of his death.

“Best known for his seventeen-year study of rural life in North Devon (The Beaford Archive), James Ravilious (1939-1999) recorded everyday living both in Devon, and elsewhere. The photographs taken portray in detail the rich landscape and weather along with the people, their hardships and their entertainments. This exhibition celebrates his work and displays his beautiful, honest and warmly sympathetic black and white images of life in the country.”

The exhibition runs until 13th September in the Olivier Exhibition Space.

You can read a review of the exhibition on Guardian Unlimited, here.
