Explore Definitive Dupain

Join the Library's curators for a tour of the exhibition Definitive Dupain.

Explore the first major retrospective to explore the complete body of work of Max Dupain (1911–1992), Australia’s most famous photographer. Definitive Dupain draws from the Library’s extraordinary archive of more than 250,000 commercial and personal negatives and prints to present the most comprehensive portrait yet of Dupain and his remarkable 60-year career.

Led by our expert curators, this tour highlights the stories behind the exhibition — from iconic images such as Sunbaker to studio portraiture, experimental photography, architecture, advertising, fashion, wartime work, nature and intimate personal photographs.

This tour meets in the East Wing Galleries and starts promptly at the advertised time.
