Don McCullin captures humanity and history through intimate, unforgettable photographs
Spanning seven decades, legendary photographer Don McCullin has documented war, famine, and social unrest while also photographing still lives, landscapes and portraits that quietly draw viewers in. At the heart of this exhibition are his most recent photographs of Roman sculptures, shown in the UK for the first time, offering moments of calm reflection that contrast with the intensity of his earlier work.
Meanwhile, iconic images from Vietnam, Northern Ireland and post-war Britain sit alongside them, revealing McCullin’s empathy, compositional skill and lifelong dedication to observing the human experience with depth and compassion.
