"There'll Always be an England!": Vintage works by Burt Hardy with works by Bill Brandt, Martin Parr, Brian Seed and others

"There'll Always be an England!": Vintage works by Burt Hardy with works by Bill Brandt, Martin Parr, Brian Seed and others at Stephen Daiter Gallery in Chicago, IL. "...London-born Bert Hardy, still largely unknown in America, was one of the great documentary photographers of the 20th century. For decades his works dominated the pages of the Picture Post, England's answer to Life magazine. He photographed children, war, sports and most other human endeavors with an enthusiasm and directness that to this day give his pictures an arresting im¬mediacy. This exhibition of Hardy's handsome vintage silver prints is drawn mostly from the 1940s and 1950s and offers a freshly observed sense of life in London and the United Kingdom during that turbulent and exciting era."
