Dupain, Max, 1911-1992  |  Photography — Australia.  |  Australia — Pictorial works.  |  Australia — Social life and customs — 20th century — Pictorial works.

Max Dupain was Australia’s most respected and influential black & white photographer of the 20th century. His images capture a long gone era in which Australian society was vastly different from what it is now. With his documentary eye his images exude quality and demonstrate Dupain’s mastership of light and form.

Dupain was considered the pioneer of modernism in Australian photography, an approach that departed from the sentimentality of soft focused, nostalgic imagery to the simplified world of light contrasts, sharp focus, varying angles and creative compositions.

(Oversized book, which may incur additional postage cost if ordered via Abebooks.)
