Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In the early 1960s, a triumvirate of young working-class photographers burst onto the scene and turned the fashion world on its head. David Bailey, Brian Duffy and Terence Donovan ushered in the era of the photographer as cultural hero. As the son of an East-End truck driver, Donovan personified what the popular imagination believed to be the essence of the Swinging Sixties in London. Although often pigeon-holed as a fashion photographer, his magazine work actually formed just a fraction of his prolific output. When he died in 1996, after a career spanning 40 years, he left an archive of nearly a million exposures which included his portraits, advertising commissions and documentary work. This retrospective of his best-known images (and some previously unpublished) has been compiled with the support of Terence's wife as a contribution to photographic and social history publishing.
