Description
Francis Greenway: A Celebration (1980), photographed by Max Dupain, is a comprehensive visual and textual tribute to Francis Greenway, Australia’s first official colonial architect. The book highlights the harmony and neoclassical beauty of Greenway’s buildings in New South Wales through Dupain’s signature high-contrast, modernist lens.
The work documents key structures designed by Greenway (1777–1837) under Governor Lachlan Macquarie, including St James’ Church, the Macquarie Lighthouse, and the Rum Hospital.
Dupain brings a modernist sensibility to 18th and 19th-century colonial architecture, using keen attention to natural light, form, and precise angles to highlight the structures’ beauty.

The book chronicles the turbulent life of Greenway—a convict transported for forgery who became a leading architect—tracing the interplay between his, at times, tragic life and his artistic achievements.
