London Paris Rome, Street Photographs. John Deakin’s photographs provide impressive testimony to the streets of Paris, London and Rome. These images from the fifties and sixties reveal an unknown aspect of John Deakin’s work. He had acquired notoriety thanks to his brilliant fashion photos. Deakin was also linked by a difficult friendship to Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud and all of London’s artistic bohemia – characters he knew how to capture privately in portraits of remarkable intensity.
