Arizona, 1980. David Hurn

Limited Edition Signed

Jump to

Description

In 1979-80 David Hurn was awarded a UK/USA Bicentennial Fellowship, which allowed him a year to travel around America, photographing it. With the entire country at his disposal, one state in particular piqued Hurn’s interest the most: “[Arizona is] the exact opposite of my home country Wales. The contrasts appealed to me.” Hurn fell in love with Arizona and continued to make several trips back between 1979 and 2001. The photographer’s recurring subject throughout decades of work has been ordinary people pursuing ordinary pursuits, and in Arizona he turned his inimitable eye to the Arizonians he encountered, in their daily life, their schools, exercise classes, as well as turning his lens towards the landscape they exist within. Pictured here, a retirement group fitness activity, 1980.
