About the event
David Hurn has a longstanding reputation as one of Britain's leading reportage photographers. He has documented everything from the Hungarian Revolution, to the Aberfan Disaster and the Beatles at the height of Beatlemania. David also set up the highly renowned School of Documentary Photography in Newport.
In 1983 he met one of his photographic heroes, André Kertész , and jokingly suggested that, when he reached Kertész’s age of 89, he would remake his seminal volume, On Reading. True to his word, the Magnum photographer has now done so. Wherever Hurn travelled as a photojournalist, he took images of people reading books, magazines and, lately, on mobile phones.
Join photojournalist and friend Glenn Edwards in conversation with David Hurn at Newport Museum and Art Gallery on Saturday 22nd March at 1pm.
