Eighteen contributors to the Royal Academy of Arts Magazine (No. 151, summer 2021) were asked to nominate ‘The artists they think every child should see’. Just one, Lily Bertrand-Webb, herself a photographer, nominated a photographer. She said: ‘The photographer Bill Brandt – his distorted close-ups of ears and hands on pebble beaches are so imaginative and playful. I used to try to copy them when I was by the sea as a little girl.’
