Exhibition : « Saddened were the Hearts of Many Men » by Ricky Maynard
Stills Gallery is delighted to present Saddened were the Hearts of Many Men by acclaimed documentary photographer, Ricky Maynard. This series of 12 direct, proud portraits of men from his hometown of Flinders Island was initiated quite some time ago when Maynard was asked “where are all our men?” He began a close observation and inquiry into how Indigenous men in the community were being affected by their diminishing role in society.
Maynard’s subjects are from a cross-section of backgrounds, from community leaders, to young men, to regular dads on the street. He spent a lot of time with each of them before he reached for his camera. While the individuality of each man is clear in these formal portraits, it’s their shared history that resonates. The body of work speaks to their shared histo... - Exposition

Ricky Maynard Portraits
This year the work of Ricky Maynard is commemorated in Portraits of a Distant Land, a retrospective of his photographic work to date at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney (4 June - 23 August, 2009).

Maynard's work is significant within an Indigenous history of Australia as was well established in the Tasmanian episode of the recent TV series First Australians.
Maynard is a documentary photographer based on Flinders Island in the Bass Strait between North East Tasmania and the mainland of Australia. His extended family escaped extinction in Tasmania in the mid to late 1800's belying the widely held belief that all Tasmanian Aboriginals were killed. They did so by resettling on Cape Barren Island in the Bass Strait a... - Exposition
