MAX DUPAIN ..Often a photographer's popular reputation rests on just one or two images. Dupain's Sunbaker is arguably the most recognised image in Australian photography. However, reputations cannot be built on one work but are founded on the overall output of a lifetime. Max Dupain became one of Australia's most celebrated photographers by creating remarkable images that depict many facets of Australian life. He also pursued his life-long interest in pushing the boundaries of photography into art by experimenting with technique and subject. This selection illustrates Dupain's enduring mastery; a mastery whose freshness and vitality has increasing appeal to an international audience. Helen Glad
