Keith Arnatt: I Am a Real Photographer

In the late 60s and early 70s, Arnatt used photography to capture his otherwise ephemeral conceptual work.

A TYPICALLY tongue-in-cheek work of this time, Trouser-Word Piece (1972), shows Arnatt wearing a placard stating ‘I’m a Real Artist’. Shortly after this, Arnatt decided to concentrate solely on photography.

Created with a knowing, subversive humour this work transcends easy categorisation. The straightforward portraits of The Visitors (1974 – 76) hint at his interest in the history of portrait photography, while playing on the relation between the camera and its subject.
