The editors of the Royal Academy of Arts Magazine (no. 157 Winter 2022) asked contributors to the issue for their favourite depictions of freedom. Two chose photographs.
David Lamy MP: The photograph by Jeff Widener of a man standing in defiance during the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 burned an image of freedom in my memory.
Benjamin McMahon: I love the image New York (1968) by the American street photographer Garry Winogrand. It shows a woman in the street eating ice cream and laughing. What’s more free than that?
