DVD 3: Portraiture

The portrait is about the people, and people are intrinsically interested in looking at other people – and how the best portrait artists have portrayed them. The popularity of the Art Gallery of NSW's premier art award, the Archibald Prize, is evidence of the immense interest in portraiture today.

In this group of interviews, InsideArt talks to several of Australia's leading portrait painters, including two Archibald Prize winners. Features fascinating conversations with each discussing their work, their motivations and the variety of styles and materials used.

This DVD also includes a short introductory interview with Stuart Purves, the director of Australian Galleries – one of Australia's most important galleries, representing figurative artists.

Features the artists Del Kathryn Barton, Lewis Miller, Graeme Drendel, Peter Wegner and Vincent Fantauzzo.

Includes support resources: transcripts, teachers' notes, bio notes and photographs.
