Carol Jerrems was an Australian ohotographer. She documented the counter-culture spirit of Melbourne in the 1970s. Jerrems was born on 14 March 1949 at Ivanhoe, Melbourne and died in Melbourne at the unfortunate age of 30.
Last week our class went on an excursion to the Monash Art Gallery in Wheelers Hill to see and exhibition on Carol Jerrems photography. My first impressions of the exhibition were underwhelmed to be honest. I found nothing in to be awe inspiring or particular interesting. The one thing I can say about the collection is that they do give you a great feel for the time (1970s Australia).
To sum up the exhibition in a few words: nude shots, black and white, and a bloke named Flappers.
