Sievers' photographs speak of the dignity of labour and the visual beauty of the constructed world. His Gears for mining industry (1967) is a classic image in Australian art history.
This exhibition of works from the 1950s to 1970s is presented by the "Graham F Smith Peace Trust":http://artspeacetrust.org/about/ in collaboration with Julian Burnside QC.
Wolfgang Sievers (1913-2007) left Germany in 1938 and became an Australian citizen in 1944. He is best known as an industrial and architectural photographer but was also a passionate campaigner for human rights, writing of his belief in ’.....justice and tolerance of all people whatever colour or faith’.
