Australia’s iconic beach culture captured through the ages and eyes of two very different photographers: Max Dupain and John Witzig.
 
Described as one of Australia’s most revered photographers, Max Dupain’s renowned beach images will, for the first time, be joined by Australian surfing photographer John Witzig’s works in a historic 50-year look at Australia’s beach culture. The exhibition opens at Dickerson Gallery in Melbourne on 31 March and will be on show until 17 April 2010.
 
This exhibition provides a historical snapshot of the evolution of Australia’s identity now intrinsically centred around beach culture. Dupain’s images capture life during the 30s and 40s when ladies and gentleman walked the promenade in dresses and suits, surf lifesavers regularly marched the shoreline and a day at the beach was more of a holiday treat. Witzig’s images capture the sub-culture of beach life during the 60s and 70s, a time when Australian surfers carved their names into surfing history with the introduction of the first short boards.
