One of the most captivating and provocative artists of the
Sensation generation, Richard Billingham (b. 1970) came to
prominence in the late 1990s with his visceral photobook Ray's a
Laugh, a slice of everyday life in a high-rise sink estate in the
British West Midlands. This book is the first comprehensive
discussion of Billingham's art practice. Articulating the
socio-historical, aesthetic, geographical as well as
anthropological aspects of Billingham's art, the book situates his
work within the British neorealist tradition in visual art, cinema
and televisual culture. Beginning with the first photographic
studies of his father in the early 1990s, Cashell argues that these
sympathetic, haunting images prefigure the later development of his
thematic concerns. Significant consideration is also given to
Billingham's cinematic oeuvre, including his recent feature-length
autobiographical film, Ray & Liz, which substantially clarifies
the complex continuity of his developing aesthetic vision.
Illustrated throughout with colour and black and white
reproductions, Photographic Realism: The Art of Richard Billingham
combines investigative research with interviews and studio
conversations, providing a subtle and sophisticated critical
evaluation of the artist's key photographic and film-based works
from the 1990s to the present.
