| Summary |
"... explores key moments of connection between portraiture and psychology in Australia since the early twentieth century. The exhibition brings together portraits of the pioneers of pscyhology in Australia from World War I to the 1950s and explores the works of artists whose experiments with portraiture are strongly informed by their interest in psychology, the subconsious mind and intense mental states."--P. 1. |
