North Devon - James Ravilious
What a night of programmes...what a night. Last night was photography night on BBC4 and we were treated to some first rate documentaries. This was on top of the rerun of the excellent series of Genius of Photography. This was so much information I was in overload.
- Jacques Henri Lartigue: The Boy who Never Grew Up - still available on iPlayer
- James Ravilious: A World in Photographs - still available on iPlayer
- The Photographer, his Wife, her Lover
- ROBERT CAPA: IN LOVE AND WAR
- The Lost Pictures of Eugene Smith
I have to say it was all too much for me to take in at one sitting so I have several hours to work through on the Sky+ box over the next week. The favourite programme that I watched last night was the James Ravilious documentary. His photographs were superb, I have already mentioned my appreciation of his father's paintings in previous blogs. I also found the characters reminiscent of people I knew when I was growing up. It is a cliche but they really don't make them like that anymore. This was the BBC at its best.
