About Jane Bown
Bown's reputation as a unique photographer begins as far back as 1949 when her first picture was published in The Observer when she was just 21 years old. The picture, of philosopher Bertrand Russell, became the first of thousands of revealing images captured by Jane's camera of the world's most influential statesmen, artists, academics and celebrities.
Since that time, Jane has given us the most astonishing variety of portraits: politicians, royalty, film stars, directors, writers, academics, comics, artists, dancers, athletes, bishops, models, nuns and ordinary people (fans, onion sellers, tramps, children) whose faces we suddenly learn to see and even become haunted by, because she looks at them with the same democratic respect, curiosity and love.
Jane's work is immediately recognisable, particularly her penetrating portraits taken over the past 50 years.
By 1980 she was renowned enough for the National Portrait Gallery to hold a one-person exhibition of her work and there have been no fewer than seven published collections of her photographs.
Jane's approach to taking photographs is as refreshingly unpretentious as she is herself - she works quickly and discreetly, using only available light, usually in black and white and without any assistants. In 1985 she was awarded an MBE. When asked by the Queen what she did, Jane's characteristically modest reply was, "I'm a hack".
