The first exhibition in Lacock's collaboration with Magnum Photos, discover previously unseen photographs created by early colour adopter and photojournalist Werner Bischof.
Largely considered one of the most important photographers of the 20th century; Werner Bischof’s iconic images explored what it is to be human. Famed for his black and white photojournalism of the post-war world, Bischof used the Devin Tri-Color camera from 1939 onwards for fashion, still life and documentary work. In 2016, decades after Werner’s death (he died in 1954 aged 38), his son Marco discovered the glass negatives taken by the camera carefully stored in triplicate. One identical image was captured three times through different colour filters: red, green and blue. The resulting photos have an incredible resolution and unmistakable colour intensity.
