JOYCE, Paul (Joyce had a successful career as a photographer in the 1970's, when over fifty of his portrait photographs were acquired by the National Portrait Gallery, and examples of his landscape work were acquired by the Government Art Collection. He subsequently became a documentary film maker and painter and is best known as the author of two books based on conversations with David Hockney. Between 1976 and 1979 he made several visits to Wales, resulting in a cycle of black and white prints that formed the exhibition 'Edge to Edge - Photographs of the Welsh Landscape' which was toured by the then Arts Council Wales and accompanied by a catalogue of the same name.)
