Synopsis

For over 30 years from 1962 to 1995 Jorge Lewinski has been photographing Britain's most important artists as well as many from abroad. With over 120 portraits, this volume shows the range of his considerable output.
Lewinski often returned to photograph the same artist over a number of years and these portraits catalogue not only the lives of the artists themselves but also the changing styles of art during this period. Lewinski's images invariably show artists in their studios, giving an insight into their creative processes and working lives. William Packer's text meanwhile places Lewinski's work in the context of his photographic contemporaries and reveals the changing attitudes of artists to the way they present themselves. The book is an important document of a much overlooked but important photographer.
