Wolf Suschitzky's London
Lovely exhibition at the Photographers’ Gallery of black and white images of London in the middle of the last century by street photographer Wolf Suschitzky. Suschitzky came from Austria and there is a feeling of these being images by an immigrant looking in on a society and seeing its idiosyncrasies and charm. He also made films and documentaries and there is a sense of narrative about the pictures. There was a beautiful picture of men looking off a London Bridge into fog on the river. I also loved one of two men in a fairground swing and one of the stretch of the Embankment I walk along nearly every day. I a lso loved the picture I have used here of St Paul’s though the bomb damage in the war. Closed on 6 March 2016
