Collection: Signature Portrait Paintings

This Signature Portrait Paintings collection brings together Edward Jack Humphrey’s most significant oil portraits, from people who have shaped Australian culture to a self-portrait by the artist. Each work begins with 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.
