Synopsis
"Hoppe's skill as a photographer, his interpretation of Australian identity, the cohesion and national scope of the collection make this one of Australia's national treasures." -Linda Groom, curator of pictures, National Library of Australia Photographer E. O. Hoppe journeyed to Australia in the 1930s with the goal of capturing "the true spirit" of the nation. Enthralled by the country and its people, he traveled for a year tirelessly capturing images of life in bustling cities as well as the remote interior. No other photographer had presented such a comprehensive national portrait at the time; his iconic images captured a land both wild and refined. Despite being one of the most famous photographers of the 1920s and 1930s, Hoppe's work fell into obscurity after World War II. It was not until the publication of E. O. Hoppe's Amerika that his justly deserved reputation as one of the foremost modernists was restored.

Product Description
Rare Book
Synopsis
E. O. Hoppe's work has recently been reassembled. This remarkable collection of photographs made in Australia by the German-born British photographer is the second book in an on-going series which represents the unearthing of a cultural landmark and an unsung Modernist masterwork.In the first part of the twentieth century, Hoppe was arguably the most famous photographer in the world, specialising in celebrity portraiture. Throughout the 1920s, Hoppe developed a Modernist approach to topographic work, particularly in his photographs of industrial subjects. In 1930, enthralled by Australia and its people, Hoppe captured images of life in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, Darwin and Canberra, along with the people and places of the interior. The earliest comprehensive portrait of Australia made by one photographer, this collection of his striking images captures the stark beauty of the country's landscape, the realities of day-to-day life and the complexities of its many peoples.
