Angry Young Man

Angry Young Man captures Welsh playwright and actor John Osborne in 1958 London, when Slim Aarons photographed the cultural revolutionary whose play 'Look Back in Anger' transformed British theater. Osborne sits in contemplation, his direct gaze and casual posture embodying the working-class energy that challenged post-war British society, while the raw interior setting reflects the stripped-down honesty of the kitchen-sink realism movement he pioneered.
