Synopsis

The magazine that shocked, entertained and informed Australians like never before.

PIX magazine hit Australian newsstands in January 1938 and went on to become one of the country’s most popular newsweeklies, national in scope and read by millions. With a mix of scandal and sensationalism, cover girls and human-interest stories, and covering fashion, politics, scientific innovation, pop culture and entertainment, what was most distinctive about PIX was its compelling black-and-white photos. Drawing from the extraordinary image collection at the State Library of NSW, and including an essay from ABC Radio presenter Kate Evans, this is the first book to celebrate PIX magazine and its unforgettable photography.
