Rex Dupain's photographs in The Colour of Bondi rise above postcard cliche thanks to the visual intelligence behind them and Dupain's special sensibility - classical, but not aloof; sensuous, but equally interested in characters, relationships, stories; candid, but not falsely dramatised. Dupain shows us every aspect of Bondi and gives us all of the various subcultures that distinguish it: the skaters at The Bowl, the backpackers, the divers, the young dads and mums, the surf lifesavers and the nippers, the swimmmers and the surfers of every age.
