The English Seen by Tony Ray-Jones

Date: Wednesday, Oct 16 2019 - Saturday, Dec 21 2019
Venue: Martin Parr Foundation

In this brand new exhibition at Martin Parr Foundation revisit, highlight and share the important contribution Tony Ray-Jones (1941-1972) made to British documentary photography.

“Tony Ray-Jones was one of my initial inspirations. His imagery showed me what was possible photographing my own country.” – Martin Parr

In 2012 Martin Parr revisited Ray-Jones’ contact sheets and found previously unseen images. These new discoveries will be exhibited alongside iconic early images, including vintage prints from the MPF collection.
