Don McCullin: The Stillness of Life
Jan 10, 2020
"At home in Somerset, Sir Don McCullin CBE talks about photographing the landscape ahead of his exhibition ‘The Stillness of Life’ at Hauser & Wirth Somerset. This personal survey of over 70 landscape photographs includes scenes across the United Kingdom, Europe and further afield, revealing the photographer’s innermost feelings through powerful compositions of wild heavens, haunting vistas and meditative still lifes.
Photographer Don McCullin has spent the last six decades traveling to remote locations and witnessing harrowing scenes of conflict and destruction. Often referring to the British countryside as his greatest salvation, McCullin demonstrates the full mastery of his medium with stark black and white images resonating with human emotion.
‘Don McCullin. The Stillness of Life’ is on view at Hauser & Wirth Somerset 25 January – 4 May 2020, following McCullin’s major retrospective at Tate Britain in 2019, traveling to Tate Liverpool in June 2020.
Hauser & Wirth is an international contemporary and modern art gallery with spaces in Zurich, London, Somerset, New York, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Gstaad, St. Moritz, Monaco and Menorca." from the video introduction
