Public Faces Private Places

Sandra Lousada grew up amidst a circle of actors, writers and artists. Through her grandfather, writer and politician A P Herbert, her mother, stage designer, Jocelyn Herbert, and Jocelyn’s partner George Devine, founder of the Royal Court, she had privileged access to the world of literature, the arts, theatre and film. The exhibition brings together a selection of her photographs which capture the insider’s view of figures including Laurence Olivier and Joan Plowright, Vanessa Redgrave, Julie Christie, Helen Mirren, Joanna Lumley and David Hockney.

A book to accompany the exhibition will be on sale from the National’s Bookshop from September. Buy your copy here.
