    A landmark monograph on one of Australia's most influential photographers, Definitive Dupain brings together iconic and previously unseen works from the extraordinary archive of Max Dupain.

    Drawing on more than 250,000 negatives held at the State Library of New South Wales, this book presents around 150 photographs spanning Dupain's career from the 1920s to the 1990s. It includes his most celebrated images such as Sunbaker (1937-38), a defining vision of Australian identity, alongside studio work, architectural studies, commercial commissions and intimate personal photographs.

    With essays by Avryl Whitnall, Helen Ennis and Trent Parke, Definitive Dupain situates Dupain within both an international photographic context and a distinctly Australian story of light, place and modern life.
