Harold Cazneaux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Harold Cazneaux (born 1878 in Wellington, New Zealand, died 1953) was an Australian photographer, active in the 1920s and 1930s.

A exhibition of his photographs, called "Thoroughly modern Sydney: 1920s and 30s glamour and style" was held at the Museum of Sydney, in Sydney in August-October 2006. It was assembled largely from images he took for the Australian magazine "Home", though it also included new prints from previously unpublished negatives. The subject ranged across "all that was fashionable and new" at that time, covering architecture, art and interior design, and also including many portraits of Australians then active in those fields.
