Eric de Maré's secret countryEric de Maré's sublime photographs of British industrial buildings forced postwar architects to look again at the landscape. His influence is still felt today

From the Guardian

"In the 1990s, the award-winning British architect Michael Hopkins was searching for someone to take black-and-white photographs of his buildings. He contacted Eric de Maré, the visionary chronicler of the postwar British landscape, then in retirement. "It was like watching an old gunslinger back in action," says Hopkins. "The first shots were a little off the mark. Then he found his aim and was bang on target. Those photographs are some of my proudest possessions."
