Working exclusively in black-and-white photography, Peter Hujar (1934–1987, USA) favoured pared-back settings, allowing his subjects to be seen intimately through complex plays of shadow and movement.

What does it mean to be a man today? The Barbican's Masculinities: Liberation through Photography considers how masculinity has been coded, performed, and socially constructed from the 1960s to the present day.
