Harold Cazneaux Photographs - An Exhibition

This absorbing exhibition presents a stunning selection from the National Library's substantial holdings of the work of Pictorial photographer Harold Cazneaux. It forces a major reassessment of the importance of this highly individual twentieth-century photographer. His break from the constrained formalism of studio photography, along with his joyful use of light, produced a body of influential and enduring images of Australian life and scenes.

The exhibition is a collaborative venture with the Historic Houses Trust of NSW, and was curated by one of the Trust's curators, Sally Webster. As well as being displayed at the National Library of Australia in Canberra, the exhibition toured in 1995-1996 - visiting the Waverley City Gallery (Melbourne), Newcastle Regional Art Gallery, Logan City Art Gallery, Dubbo Regional Gallery, and Orange Regional Gallery.
