Tony Ray Jones

edited by Russell Roberts, with additional text by Bill Jay and Martin Parr.

A key figure of British photography and the British way of life, revealed afresh. This authoritative monograph reassesses the work and legacy of Tony Ray-Jones, whose promising work as a photographer was cut short with his death by leukemia at age 30 in 1972. Ray-Jones studied with Robert Frank and Garry Winogrand in the United States and then returned to the UK to produce his take on British life, "The English". Two books of his work were published in the years shortly after his death but both are out of print making this new volume a welcome opportunity to revisit Ray-Jones’ work. Reproduced from new prints and edited by Russell Roberts, senior curator at the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television this book illuminates Ray Jones’ life and artistic development. The book concludes with a conversation between photographer Martin Parr and writer Bill Jay.
