About Bill Brandt: Born in 1904, Bill Brandt became Britain's most influential and internationally admired photographer of the 20th century. The striking images Brandt created are essential works and have made him a monumental figure in photographic art history. His innovations expanded the medium of photography and gave his work a timeless quality. Brandt considered his nude studies as his favorite work and is acknowledged to have taken the genre into ground breaking new areas, creating abstractions in which the landscape of the body meets the landscape of the natural world. Many of his "distorted" nudes were made with an old wooden and brass camera he found in a second hand shop. The camera had a wide angle lens with a pinhole aperture and like nineteenth-century cameras it had no shutter. The acute distortion produced by the lens created an abstract perspective in his subsequent landscapes and nudes. The images he created with the unnatural perspective, unusual viewpoints and the use of strange lighting shocked people at the time, but forever broadened the boundaries of imagery. Most of his influential work with nudes were made in Normandy and on the Sussex Coast.
