Lloyd Rees AC CMG (1895-1988), artist and teacher, studied art in Brisbane from 1910 to 1916, and in England and Europe in the early 1920's. During his long career he produced paintings, prints and drawings. For many years he also taught part time at the University of Sydney. His landscapes won wide recognition amongst both the public and the art world with their unpretentious style which combined careful analysis and sensuality.

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.
Pat Corrigan's generous gift of 100 photographic portraits by Greg Weight.
