Perceptions - Patrick Lichfield
Curated by Martin Harrison
The name Patrick Lichfield (1939-2005), photographer, is indelibly associated with a world of beauty and style that he inhabited with conspicuous success for more than 40 years. Form his first commissions for Life, Queen and Vogue magazines in the mid 1960’s, he was chiefly identified as a documenter of this lustrous milieu. As Earl of Lichfield and cousin of the Queen, Lichfield had entrée to a strand of society unknown to many. His intimate photographs of the Royal Family and their circle afforded a glimpse into an inaccessible world. Throughout his career he photographed personalities from all walks of life: stars of stage and screen, politicians, aristocracy, royalty, sportsmen and women, models and socialites, as well as ordinary men and women going about their daily business. He was an acute observer of the world around him and of the period in which he lived and worked. Curated by Martin Harrison and divided into sections on Memory, Land, Empires, Cultures and Styles, Perceptions is filled with photographs from Lichfield’s entire archive from the 1960s to 2005, over half of which have never been seen before. This superbly produced retrospective, the first representing his complete career, establishes Patrick Lichfield as one of the great British photographers of the late 20th Century.
