Self-portrait, 1937

He was born in the suburb of Summer Hill in Sydney on 9 July 1908. He won the Archibald Prize when he was 29, which made him the youngest ever winner of the prize. He painted portraits, many of them self-portraits, as well as scenes of circuses and markets.[2] He was also an Archibald Prize Finalist in 1946, again with a self-portrait.[3]
