| Summary |
"Shades of Light traces the history of photography as an art in Australia from 1939 to the present. A selection of over 150 photographs show the range of suject matter and techniques favoured throughout the decades, from tiny daguerreotypes, Holtermann's panorama of Sydney in 1875, album photographs and early colour works, to the dynamic works of the 1980s. Gael Newton records the reaction in this country to the developments in photography around the world from its debut in Paris and London in 1839, and surveys the work of the finest Australian photographers." --Back cover |
