Samuel Field
Bandstand, Eastbourne - Black & White Set of Three Framed Photographs

1985

About the Item

'Bandstand', set of three framed artworks, captured on a visit to his grandparents at the British seaside in Eastbourne, this collection by Samuel Field is a beautiful reminder of days gone by. This listing is for three artworks each measuring 23.6" x 30.2". Each artwork is a limited edition of 25, gloss, photographic print, dry-mounted to aluminium, presented in museum board white window mount framed in black made professionally in the UK. They are signed and numbered on reverse accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. They can be hung in a horizontal or vertical row and be spaced out any distance you like to suit your interior. From snow-covered alleyways between terraced houses, to fully-clothed sunbathers reclining in deck chairs, Field’s images are unmistakably English. Almost as if to portray the country through the nation’s favourite conversation topic, the weather, Lost England is full of character and charm. Photographing in the eighties, in a time of flux and change for the country, Field seems to have sought out the last vestiges of a country which was being reconstructed, hardened and sold off. Feeling a sense that certain places and people may soon be consigned to the pages of history, Field was compelled to capture what he saw around him. The ordinary and the everyday became the backdrop for his images which, we can see today, portrays a more innocent time. A wry smile and a nod to the traditions of documentary photography provide the backbone for these glimpses of the recent past. Yet they are not designed to be a Lewis Hine-esque campaign for social reform; with the passage of time these photographs have become a rich and valuable reference paying homage to a lost era. Samuel Field has exhibited widely and has collectors around the world.
