David Moore, Aboriginal Couple, Finnis Springs Mission, South Australia, 1959
In the 1970s, photographers defined their goal as 'personal documentary' work freed from the confines of the magazine picture editors and commercial clients. David Moore developed new non-commissioned bodies of personal work in these years and from the late 1970s on further developed an abstract formal language and design emphasis in many of his formalist works that were designed for the art institution.
I much preferred the classic photojournalism of the 1940s and 1950s.
