Signature Portrait Paintings

This Signature Portrait Paintings collection brings together Edward Jack Humphrey’s most significant oil portraits of people who have shaped Australian culture. Each work begins with a conversation and hundreds of photographs, then comes to life in oil paint where light, pose and symbolic detail reveal character as much as likeness. Honest, emotive and full of presence, these portraits include Archibald Prize finalist works and sitters such as Stan Walker and Michael Reid OAM.
