Sune Jonsson: Overtornea, 1966
Sune Jonsson: New-York, 1965
PM Gallery in Ealing opens tomorrow with a new exhibition of works from the late Swedish artist Sune Jonsson Sune Jonsson (1930-2009). This collection of works taken in the 1950s and 60s documents the journey of agricultural Sweden to a more industrialised society. Although Jonsson worked mostly in Västerbotten in Sweden, he travelled to Europe and America and some of the works (including the one above) are taken in New York where he was inspired by the American photographer Walker Evans. This is a small retrospective of Sune Jonsson’s work and includes some familiar and lesser known photographs; all of which are beautiful and poignant.
The exhibition continues until the 7th January, 2012. There is a gallery tour given by the curator of the exhibition, Kerstin Ullström Harris , on Saturday 7th January at 2pm. Pitzhanger Manor-House was designed by the architect John Soane in 1800 and is worth a look if you are visiting the gallery.
