From the construction of the Berlin Wall through every conflict up to the Falklands War, photographer Don Mc Cullin has left a trail of iconic images. At the Sunday Times Magazine in the 1960s, Mc Cullin`s photography made him a new kind of hero. The flow of stories every Sunday took a generation of readers beyond the insularity of post-war Britain & into the recesses of domestic deprivation: when in 1968, a year of political turmoil, the Beatles wanted new pictures, they insisted on using Mc Cullin; when Francis Bacon, whose own career had emerged with depiction of the ravages of the flesh, wanted a portrait, he turned to Mc Cullin. Mc Cullin now spends his days quietly in a Somerset village, where he photographs the landscape & arranges still-lifes
- a far cry from the world`s conflict zones & the war-scarred north London of Holloway Road where his career began. In October 2015, it will be twenty-five years since the first publication of his autobiography, Unreasonable Behaviour
- a harrowing memoir combining his photojournalism with his lifework. The time is right to complete Mc Cullin`s story.
