Nolan Heads will focus on the portraiture of one of Australia's most original painters and one of the few to have achieved an international reputation
Portraits of Australia’s pioneering psychologists and artworks by artists fascinated by the subconscious mind.
What does 'portraiture mean at the end of the 20th century? At the outset of building a national portrait collection it seems an appropriate question to investigate.
Open Air is an exhibition of portraits of Australians in environments of particular significance to them.
When a portrait communicates determination and individuality as boldly as these do, it has the potential to become an iconic image. For the Gallery’s 20th birthday this display brings together a group contemporary photographic portraits of inspiring women and men.
This sample of 56 photographs takes in some of the smallest photographs we own and some of the largest, some of the earliest and some of the most recent, as well as multiple photographic processes from daguerreotypes to digital media.
This exhibition is the first comprehensive survey of self-portraits in Australia, from the colonial period to the present
This exhibition showcases portraits acquired through the generosity of the National Portrait Gallery’s Founding Patrons, L Gordon Darling AC CMG and Marilyn Darling AC.
