Dorothy Bohm: Sixties London

Interesting small exhibition at the Jewish Museum of photographs by Dorothy Bohm of 1960s London.

Bohm’s work focuses on social change in this period rather than the Swinging Sixties we normally think of in London. She had a great eye for composition of a picture and capturing a moment as it happened.

I loved a picture of two dogs and their owners meeting in the street, capturing the moment when dogs eye each other up, also one of people at a café in the Kings Road with a broken marble bust by the table. My favourite though was one of two men taking a break from work with pints of beer, sitting on ladders.

Closed on 29 August 2016.
