Good looking : portraits from the City of Melbourne collection

Melbourne (Vic.). Council, author2013English
" Lord mayors, town clerks, British royalty, Moomba royalty and an office worker called Bob - the City of Melbourne's art collection is full of portraits. The Good Looking exhibition is an opportunity to see and celebrate this collection of official - and not so official - portraits. Key works in the exhibition include an elegant oil painting of Lord Mayor Samuel Amess by much-loved Australian artist Tom Roberts; an atmospheric photograph of Robert O'Hara Burke (possibly the last taken before he set of with Wills on their ill-fated expedition across Australia); and Vivienne Shark LeWitt's amusing portrait of office worker 'Bob', which inverts the formal protocols of official portraiture to give a more humdrum picture of a man involved in the work of Council." -- publisher's website.
