Bruce Armstrong is a sculptor, painter, printer and charcoal artist. Since 1987 two of his chainsawed redgum sculptures have stood at the entrance to the National Gallery of Victoria. The National Gallery holds eight of his works, and Savage Beauty, a critically acclaimed retrospective of Armstrong's sculptures, prints and bronzes curated by Ted Gott, was held in 1999 at the Museum of Modern Art at Heide.

On one level The Companion talks about the most famous and frontline Australians, but on another it tells us about ourselves: who we read, who we watch, who we listen to, who we cheer for, who we aspire to be, and who we'll never forget. The Companion is available to buy online and in the Portrait Gallery Store.
Portraits of philanthropists in the collection honour their contributions to Australia and acknowledge their support of the National Portrait Gallery.
