This book selects roughly 150 photographs from that archive, running from his earliest work in the 1920s through to the 1990s. Famous images such as \u003cem\u003eSunbaker\u003c\/em\u003e sit beside pictures that have rarely or never been seen: studio portraits, commercial commissions, architectural studies and private photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat emerges is a photographer whose real subject was the country itself—its people, landscapes, cities and buildings, and even its manufactured goods. Essays by Avryl Whitnall, Helen Ennis and Trent Parke read that output against international photography while drawing out its particular feel for Australian light and modern life. For readers of architecture and design, the architectural work is a highlight, and a record of how modern Australia was first pictured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAround 150 photographs selected from the roughly 250,000 negatives in Dupain's archive at the State Library of New South Wales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpans his whole career, from the 1920s to the 1990s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCelebrated images including \u003cem\u003eSunbaker\u003c\/em\u003e alongside previously unseen work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEssays by Avryl Whitnall, Helen Ennis and Trent Parke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompanion to the State Library's major retrospective \u003cem\u003eDefinitive Dupain\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe full range of Dupain's practice—portraiture, advertising, architecture, landscape and personal work—well beyond his best-known pictures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow his photographs of buildings and cities recorded the arrival of modern Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhere Dupain sits within international photography, and what made his way of seeing distinctly Australian\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow commercial briefs, from kitchenware to toothpaste, became part of a wider visual record of Australian culture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is produced with the State Library of New South Wales, custodian of Dupain's negative archive.
