Author: Joanna Mendelssohn (MENAFN - The Conversation) The Members' Hall of Parliament House is home to the 25 completed portraits of Australia's former prime ministers. The most recently revealed was of Julia Gillard in 2018, painted by Vincent Fantauzzo, a five-time People's Choice Award winner at the Archibald Prize. Indeed, every official prime ministerial portrait has been painted by an Archibald finalist, including some by artists who were awarded the main prize. This will change with Tony Abbott's reported decision to appoint the Australian's editorial cartoonist Johannes Leak to paint his official portrait. Leak does not have any track record of exhibiting works on a large scale, let alone portraits.
