Roger Mayne
Group in the Road, St Stephens Gardens, London W2, 1957 - Roger Mayne

About the Item

Signed and dated Signed, inscribed with title and dated on reverse Silver gelatin print, printed 1991 12 3/4 x 17 inches Roger Mayne (1929-2014) is a British photographer known for his series documenting the children of Southam Street, West London. Influenced as much by the St Ives school of artists as by his photographer contemporaries, Mayne consciously printed with high contrast to emphasise the formal qualities of his work and increased the scale of his prints to pursue a dialogue with contemporary painting. The images which Roger Mayne captured between 1956 and 1961 at Southam Street, London represent the most significant personal and professional project of his career. At that time, Southam Street in North Kensington had changed little since Victorian times and was later declared uninhabitable, making way for Erno Goldfinger’s Brutalist Trellick Tower in 1963. In Mayne’s influential works, the Southam Street residents, subsequently relocated to council housing, are captured over a period of five years. The images are now considered of national importance as documents of life in post-War, pre-gentrification Britain, and are held in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
