"'A seminal figure in post-war British art', according to the art critic David Sylvester, Nigel Henderson (1917-1985) has nonetheless languished in relative obscurity since the mid-1950s. Nigel Henderson: Parallel of Life and Art is the first monograph on this pivotal artist, whose influence on British art in the 1950s and 1960s was immense... Nigel Henderson: Parallel of Life and Art presents a comprehensive selection of Henderson's work, including reproductions not only of his documentary photographs of the East End (which has a significant impact on contemporary urban planning and architecture), but also his experimental work with the photographic medium, collage and design. It also includes photographs of his important exhibition work in the 1950s at the ICA, the Architectural Association and the Whitechapel Gallery..." Ref LPB0378
