Join Keith Roberts on the 25 April in Liverpool.
‘Only in England’ explores the lasting influence of the British photographer Tony Ray-Jones on the development of British photography from the 1970s to the present day.
This exhibition of more than 100 humorous yet melancholic images also includes new prints selected by esteemed photographer Martin Parr.
“Don’t take boring pictures” was a self-imposed rule Tony Ray-Jones lived by throughout his all too short career. Documenting ordinary English life, his images were a startling departure from anything else being produced at the time.
