McFarlane, R., Max Dupain – Modernist, Sydney Morning Herald, 27 June 2007
"Flesh and stone were the two great influences on Max Dupain's vision. From his earliest photographs, he strove to transform the naked human body into something resembling the marble forms of antiquity. Women, especially, were of ten rendered as triumphantly sensual yet naturalistic, as if the sculptor Bernini had suddenly picked up a camera."
