Conceptual Art in Britain (1956-1979). 3/8/16
I went to another conceptual art exhibition called ‘Conceptual Art in Britain (1956-1979)’. The exhibition was held at the Richard Saltoun Gallery and featured the work of Tony Morgan and John Blake. I found the work of Tony Morgan, a photographer from Leicestershire in the UK, really fascinating. I was particularly taken by his series of screen-prints ‘Munich Grass’ and ‘Munich Wall’. I like the way the photographs avoid what might be thought of as typical tourist shots of the city, and instead provide much more of a conceptual piece. I like the visual effects Morgan created by using this box design and the screen-print medium; the box draws the eye to the centre of the photograph, making the image look as if the box is magnifying the middle of the picture.
