Paul Strand: Photography and Film for the 20th Century
Paul Strand was one of the greatest and most influential photographers of the 20th century whose images have defined the way fine art and documentary photography is understood and practised today.
This exhibition is now closed at V&A South Kensington
These prints are not just images, but carefully nurtured objects.

This beautifully put-together exhibition is a moving experience
