A London City Café,
Bruce Davidson, 1960

Vintage Silver Gelatin Print

11 x 14"

Framing a brief moment of communicative transmission through tranistion, Bruce Davidson enduces powerful emotion within his black and white photograph. As the photographic lens focuses on the human search for meaning, A London City Cafe provokes a sense of curiosity as we are given insight into the lives of those portrayed. By viewing this particular scene in which Davidson's subjects are documented as facing potentially ruinous obstacles, an expressive realisation of social concern and sympathy presents itself. Davidson's visual language suggests a form of shared poetic human experience, allowing us to see beauty and understand an overall similtude existing within humanity.
