The catalogue for first major exhibition by Midlands-based artist John Myers. Comprising black and white photographs made in the 1970s, Ikon's selection includes Middle England (1970-1974), a number of portraits of individuals and families living in and around Stourbridge and the Black Country. Myers' approach is documentary in style, reflecting the taste, self-perceptions and aspirations of the people he photographed. Thus we observe them in their sitting rooms and bedrooms, or in their leisure or work spaces, surrounded by the telling paraphernalia of their daily lives. They pose with deliberate stances and gestures, responding to the sense of occasion engendered by Myers' use of a Gandolfi plate camera set on a tripod with a dark viewing cloth. As well as domestic interiors, occupied particularly by couples and women, we see the studio where a young girl attends ballet classes, the back yard where a boy plays football and a club where two men play snooker. An illustrated catalogue with essays by Paul Lewis, writer and photography specialist, and Eugenie Shinkle, photographer, writer and Senior Lecturer in Photographic Theory and Criticism at the University of Westminster. This copy is in very good condition. There is a slight bend at the top of the back cover corner and a faint mark on the fore edge ( see photos).The copy is without inscription and the pages are bright and clean.
