Walter Barnett Studios
Walter Barnett Studios is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Walter Barnett Studios took black-and-white portraits of Australians in the 1920s and ’30s. Their photograph of J.J. Jennings shows a man in a dark suit against a plain backdrop, the striped tie and pocket square the only hints of pattern. Barnett’s studio sat on Sydney’s Pitt Street, a busy downtown spot where actors, politicians, and business owners posed between errands. Tap Jennings’ portrait to see how light and shadow shaped his face in one quiet frame.
