Description
Over the past 40 years, Boleslaw Lutoslawski has photographed many of the greatest figures in the arts in Europe, spanning the worlds of music, literature, dance, and theatre. Arriving in London from his native Poland in 1980, he was immediately absorbed into the capital’s fast-moving cultural scene. Seen here is a presenter for the BBC World Service, No tells us ”People live all over the Earth. Hundreds of millions in faraway places get up with the sunrise, while we go to sleep after a busy day, they eat supper when we eat breakfast or enjoy the warmth of budding spring, while we admire the rich colours of autumn leaves. If you want to satisfy your curiosity about all those distant worlds, you can either travel constantly to every corner of our globe or turn to media for stories, which are told by professional journalists. Alas, we know that some media can be like whimsical fairies, which give us illusions, stories with selectively disclosed facts. But others are true and trustworthy. You can recognize their honesty, by looking straight into their eyes, like here, at the BBC World Service. photographed by Boleslaw Lutoslawski
