The golden age of photojournalism is recalled in George Rodger exhibition
2008
Overview
To celebrate the centenary of [George Rodger]'s birth, the museum, in Manchester, is to present a major exhibition of his wartime work, a few miles from his birthplace in Cheshire. \"Contact: George Rodger's War Photographs\", which opens next month, showcases 100 works by the self-taught press photographer. The images convey Rodger's compassion for the victims of war while also giving a sense of war's absurdity. One picture shows a group of people at the entrance of a public shelter watching enemy planes over London, with some pointing their walking sticks at the sky in wonder. Rodger had been travelling the world to capture scenes of war through the lens of his Leica IIIa camera since the start of the Second World War. He shot everything from war graves in the Egyptian desert and wounded soldiers in Burma, to London in the Blitz and De Gaulle's celebration parade in Paris.
