Joanne Leonard featured in Michael Dooney podcast 'Subtext and Discourse'

Joanne Leonard has been feautred in Michael Dooney's Art World Podcast 'Subtext and Discourse'. 
 
"Credited with inventing the "intimate documentary" style of photography, Joanne Leonard was one of the first to pivot away from street style photography adopt a more personal approach that focused on her close relationships and immediate surroundings.

In this episode we delve into her unique approach that captured the daily lives of women and challenged the male gaze, her use of collage to go beyond the limits of photography, and creating work inspired by the realities of motherhood which earned her a place as a feminist art icon whose work is now celebrated in major collections worldwide.


This interview coincided with Joanne's first UK solo exhibition at Hacklebury Fine Art London: Vintage Photographs and Early Collages."
