Description
Olive Cotton: A Life in Focus This landmark biography tells the story of Olive Cotton, one of Australia's pioneering modernist photographers. Her work was recognised alongside that of her first husband, Max Dupain, and together they produced bold and distinctive photographs that captured the essence of their country. Despite facing significant challenges, including a divorce and living off-grid with limited access to basic amenities, Olive continued to pursue her passion for photography. It wasn't until a landmark exhibition in Sydney in 1985 that her work was rediscovered, leading to a major retrospective at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in 2000. This beautifully written and deeply moving biography sheds new light on Olive Cotton's remarkable life and career, revealing a woman who was both stubbornly determined and quietly courageous.
