Anna Mossman
Pastel, 50.8 x 50.8 cm, 1985
"Portraiture, I grow more and more to feel, is a very special category of painting and a very particular act of art: it involves two people in a room one of whom is trying to be painted by the other."
From the essay Portraits, in Tom Phillips: The Portrait Works (1989)
The subjects listed at right comprise portraits from 1957 through 2005. Many were included in the 1989 National Portrait Gallery exhibition Tom Phillips: The Portrait Works. The media include oil, acrylic, pastel, chalk, pencil, charcoal, collage, and found objects. Tom Phillips: The Portrait Works marked the second time the National Portrait Gallery hosted a full retrospective exhibition of a contemporary artist. (The first was Graham Sutherland.) |
