Cruel and Tender: The Real in the Twentieth-Century Photograph is the first Tate exhibition dedicated to photography. David Campany and Emma Dexter will explore themes and motifs of the exhibition, and consider its importance for the histories of both photography and exhibition making. They will ask what is meant by a ‘documentary style’, examining the oscillation between engagement and estrangement in many works in the exhibition.

David Campany is Senior Lecturer in the History and Theory of Photography at the Surrey Institute of Art and Design. He is author of Art and Photography (Phaidon 2003), and a contributor to the Cruel and Tender catalogue. Emma Dexter is Senior Curator at Tate Modern, and co-curator of Cruel and Tender.
