A Museum of Australian Photography (MAPh) touring exhibition
Albert Tucker (1914–99) is one of Australia’s most well-known and renowned artists, and a key exponent of Australian modernism. In 1939 Tucker acquired his first camera. From that moment on he began documenting his life and the people and places that meant so much to him. The Tucker portraits explores how Tucker used photography within his practice – from inspiration and source material for his paintings through to capturing unique and intimate documents that explore the social, cultural and political life in Australia.
