“The ideal picture tells something of the essence of life. It sums up emotion, it holds the feeling of movement thereby implying the continuity of life. It shows some aspect of humanity, the way that the person who looks at the picture will at once recognize as startlingly true”
~ Bert Hardy
Bert left school at 14 years old to work for a chemist who also processed photographs. He was completely self taught and used a Leica early on which was really unconventional for press photographers of that era. He was the star photographer for the magazine “Picture Post”, the UK equivalent of “Life Magazine”. This, one of his most tender images, it will be included in our upcoming gallery exhibition. "The Flower Show" which opens June 17th, with a gallery reception between 3:00 - 6:00 PM. The exhibition will run between June 17th - September 2nd 2023. More details to follow!
