Regular readers will have noticed that new articles have been few and far between here for some time and the main reason for that is we have been working diligently on research and content for The Robert Krasker Project.
Robert Krasker, BSC was the greatest Australian cinematographer and Director of Photography, photographing many major feature films in colour and black-and-white with some of the world’s most famous directors.
That he has long been almost forgotten in his home country is, frankly, shameful and a reminder of the chien a mangé – usually mistranslated as “dog at a manger” – attitude that persists in regard to creative Australians who have been successful overseas.
We hope that The Robert Krasker Project will become one of the best and most useful websites about home and his work and that it will lead to him being more recognized in Australia than he is currently.
