The Radical Eye—Modernist Photography from the Sir Elton John Collection (Tate Modern, London)

The Tate Modern is one of our favorite museums and this extraordinary exhibit highlights why. 

This exhibit focuses on photography from the first half of the twentieth century and its 8 categories; Documents, Objects, Perspectives, Abstractions, Portraits, Experiments, Bodies, Portraits and The Radical Eye, contains so many iconic photographs that you feel as though you are wandering through a friend’s living room.

I was surprised at how small some of the originals of these well-known photographs are.  In constant reproduction and representation the images have become iconic and in that, larger than life.

While a fairly small exhibit, it is rich, both visually and emotionally.  Go take a gander at The Radical Eye.
