New exhibition featuring the work of James Ravilious, renowned photographer of rural life and one of Devon’s best-loved artists
About
The work has been chosen from a large retrospective show mounted for him by the Royal Photographic Society. This exhibition is on loan from the permanent collection of The Burton at Bideford.
James Ravilious (1939-1999) is well known for his black and white photography of Devon life and landscapes, particularly his seventeen-year project for the Beaford Photographic Archive. As part of the project, he took over 80,000 black and white images of all aspects of local life: landscape, farming, everyday life in the local towns and villages, and their special occasions, making it probably the most intensive record of any rural area in England.
