"Since 1993 Michael Kenna has visited Calais many times and wandered at length throughout the town, photographing its urban landscapes and its proud industrious heart: the lace factories. Kenna's photographs capture a past deeply ingrained in the life of this town. The artist's own childhood in a working-class neighbourhood near Liverpool, together with his work on the Lancashire and Yorkshire cotton mills, led him to develop a language specific to a geography of disaster, the poetics of working-class escapism and the outdoors as a refuge. In Calais Lace, Kenna captures the spirit of this town and marks out the character-traits of a hardworking people." A pristine copy BOLDLY SIGNED by Michael Kenna in blue ink on the title page.. Fine/Fine.
