For World Photography Day, we're sharing a work from one of Australia's pioneer modernist photographers, Olive Cotton. 📷 ⠀ This work, 'Max after Surfing,' is of Cotton's childhood friend and partner at the time, Max Dupain. Although taken indoors, the stark, dramatic change of light and dark gives the sensation of strong sunlight, showcasing Cotton's detail to light, line and form.⠀ ⠀ 'Max after Surfing' is currently on display in Gallery 9 to complement 'Robert Wilson: Moving portraits'.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #agsaadelaide⠀ #olivecotton⠀ #photography⠀ #worldphotographyday⠀ ⠀ ⠀ __⠀ ⠀ Image: Olive Cotton, Australia, 1911 - 2003, 'Max after surfing', 1939, Sydney, gelatin-silver photograph, 25.8 x 19.5 (image), 30.4 x 25.2 cm (sheet); Gift of Shane Le Pastrier through the Art Gallery of South Australia Foundation 2015, Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide.
