Streets: Nigel Henderson's East End
Nigel Henderson (1917-1985) was a British artist and photographer whose work has been compared to that of Cartier-Bresson and Brassai. While living in Bethnal Green, east London, he created an extraordinary archive of photography documenting life in the area between 1949 and 1953. The son of Wyn Henderson, who managed the famous Guggenheim Jeune gallery, he became acquainted with leading figures in modern art, including Max Ernst and Marcel Duchamp.
From children playing hopscotch to a funeral cortege to street parties celebrating the 1953 coronation, Henderson's unique view of the streets evokes the wit, resilience, and character of the local people as it documents a fast-disappearing way of This beautiful book showcases 150 of these newly digitized photographs, which capture the heart of working-class London life.
