The Sound of Photography

Ian Walker and Hazel Donkin

The guests on this week’s episode of The Sound of Photography are Ian Walker and Hazel Donkin. They will  be speaking about the book they have published entitled Frederick Sommer: A World of Bonds (Routledge 2026). The book deals with the life and work of the American artist Frederick Sommer. Sommer though now largely known for his photography work defied categorisation making work that involved collage, sculpture and drawing. He was associated with Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray moving between Formalism, Abstraction, Documentary and Conceptual methods of working.
