Jane Bown, Photographer. RIP
Posted: Fri Dec 26, 2014 2:07 pm
Another of my heroes bit the dust a few days before Xmas.
Jane Bown spent most of her life working for the Observer where she took mainly black and white portraits of just about everyone.
I saw an exhibition of her large, black and white portraits at the Lowry in Manchester a few years back and it had some stunning stuff.
For those who are interested in black and white portraiture, this link has some classic shots such as Beckett, Mick Jagger and Bjork.
As it states in the link "Bown photographed the great and the good, the rich and the poor, the ordinary and extraordinary with a compassionate and gentle eye"
RIP
