Half a century ago, 'playing out' was expected of kids who came together, in all weathers, to run, jump, skip, swing, kick, fight and climb - usually unsupervised. With growing fears over children's vulnerability in modern society much of this has been lost. Paradise Street brings together the work of seven photographers including Shirley Baker, Martin O'Neill and Paul Kaye, most who lived and worked among the people they photographed. Spanning the early 1930s to the late 1970s, these black-and-white images are a celebration of community, trust and friendship, showing how attitudes towards children's safety have shifted over the 20th century.

The exhibition was a resounding success and helped establish Sorolla s international reputation. Known for his vigorous compositions, unusual color palette, and loose, radiant brush strokes, Sorolla s sun-drenched landscapes, beach scenes, and luminous portraits even impressed such contemporaries as Claude Monet. Richly illustrated and with newly researched essays by noted scholars, this important book reveals much new information about Sorolla s activities and relationships with othe
