Humphrey Spender overleden
Humphrey Spender, a prominent English artist known for his photographs documenting the lives of ordinary Britons in the bleakest years of the Depression, died on March 11 at his home in Ulting, Essex. He was 94. The cause was heart failure, his wife, Rachel, said.
Mr. Spender, who began his career as a photojournalist, was a pioneer of the British documentary photography movement of the 1930's and 40's. A brother of the poet Stephen Spender, he became known in later years as a textile designer and painter.
The Independent of London last week called Mr. Spender "one of the outstanding chroniclers of British life between the wars."
