Harold Cazneaux photographs of Sydney

published within Art In Australia in 1927

In 1927 Art in Australia dedicated an issue to images and literature of Sydney. Cazneaux's photographs were advertised as an important feature of the pictorial content.  The Sydney number was advertised as a souvenir as well as an art journal's examination of the culture of the city.

Cazneaux's photographs were a departure from the Pictorialist landscape tradition, focussing on city streets and industrial areas. Smog replaced fog as the painterly device.
