Robert Hannaford is one of Australia’s
foremost portrait artists, but this is only one aspect of his
work. Robert Hannaford: Natural Eye, the first book to
be published on this acclaimed artist, reveals a richer, fuller
story: of an artist who deliberately places representation over
abstraction, producing art that celebrates the visual world in
all its variety while interrogating its place in the human imagination.
Hannaford has been a finalist in every Archibald
Prize exhibition since 1991, and winner of the Archibald People’s
Choice Prize on three occasions. His subjects include Dame Joan
Sutherland, Sir Donald Bradman, Sir Edward Woodwards, Hon. Paul
Keating, Jean Blackburn, Hon. Bob Hawke, Sir Gerard Brennen, Professor
Rolf Prince and Hugh Stretton.
