A Vision of India

John Claridge is back at Mind’s Eye to offer us a fifth solo exhibition, this time on India in the early seventies. A Vision of India presents striking street scenes and evocative landscapes. No hint in these photographs of modern India, nor of spiritual India shown us recently by Caroline Abitbol. As in his earlier exhibitions of former boxers, of the East End of London, and of miners, the photographer’s empathy for the common people is evident. The graphic style favoured by John Claridge strengthens the impact of these images.
