THE PERCIVALS
FOREWORD
PORTRAITS OF PEOPLE, NOT LIKE THEM Artists, sitters and viewers alike have almost always
been enamoured by a good portrait. From the funeral portraits of Egypt, to the Renaissance works of masters such as Raphael and da Vinci; from group portraits during the Baroque and Rococo periods, to the emergence of the French impressionists Monet, Degas and Renoir; a period which gave way to the postimpressionists such as van Gogh and Gauguin. Finally came the fast-paced 20th century, where changes in popular style were the order of the day, and Matisse, Picasso, Beckman, Kokoschka, and Bacon were masters of their craft. In the middle of the 20th century the popularity of portraiture waned slightly, mostly due to an increased interest in abstraction and non-figurative art. However, the art form was resurgent in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, in no small part due to artists such as Warhol, Freud and Close. With this brief history in mind it’s evident that portraiture is timeless, and that the act of painting heads has always had the power to turn heads. But how has a simple picture of a person managed to move the masses so consistently? The reason was probably best outlined by the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer in 1856 when he stated:
“…that the portrait should not be a reflection in a mirror, a daguerreotype produces that far better. The portrait must be a lyric poem, through which a whole personality, with all its thoughts, feelings and desires, speaks.”
What Schopenhauer has articulated is that the best portraits capture an identity, not an image. They allow us to know people we’ll never truly know, if only through inferences we make about their personality on viewing their portrait. What Schopenhauer couldn’t know is that advances in technology and the shifting attitude of photographers, who now utilise their cameras to produce artworks and not simply record images, enabled photographers to produce equally stunning portraits that capture not only a likeness, but an essence of a person. Townsville’s own fascination with portraiture is just as enduring. Historically significant paintings of prominent figures – such as Dorothy Elaine Vicaji’s 1933 painting John Melton Black – and more recent contemporary portraits are among the finest works in the City of Townsville Art Collection. The city’s fascination extended beyond the confines of the Collection storage when the first Percival Portrait Award was displayed at Perc Tucker Regional Gallery in 2007. At this inaugural event, the major prize was taken out by Barbara Cheshire for her portrait Jack, which depicted at-the-time Councillor Jack Wilson. The stunning success of the exhibition prompted a second instalment in 2008, and from this point it was obvious the exhibition would be an enduring feature in the Townsville arts calendar, becoming a biennial acquisitive prize from 2010.
FOREWORD
Consistently evolving, the exhibition has now become one of the nation’s richest portrait prizes. To meet this billing, the exhibition has further evolved in a number of significant ways in 2014; among them the preselection of works by a panel of industry figures, and the production of this beautiful catalogue of selected works. The continued growth of this exhibition would of course not be possible without the vision of Townsville City Council in investing so heavily in the prize, and the generosity of the exhibition’s corporate sponsors; Glencore for their continued backing of the $40,000 acquisitive Glencore Percival Portrait Painting Prize, COX Rayner Architects for the provision of funds to produce this catalogue, and Telstra Stores Townsville for enabling a $2000 People’s Choice Award. Pleasingly, sponsorship from DUO Magazine has enabled The Percivals to become a more holistic celebration of portraiture in the city; our beloved painting prize now has a sister exhibition in the form of the inaugural DUO Magazine Percival Photographic Portrait Prize. To be displayed at Pinnacles Gallery, the DUO Magazine Percival Photographic Portrait Prize offers a major $10,000 prize, and showcases that portraits by skilled photographers are no longer simply “reflections in a mirror” as those produced by the daguerreotypes Schopenhauer described.
THE PERCIVALS
Of course, all of this sector support would be for nought without the passion of our artists, both locally and nationally. In 2014 we have been overwhelmed by the number of entries we have received; more than 170 for the Glencore Percival Portrait Painting Prize, and over 160 for the DUO Magazine Percival Photographic Portrait Prize. Combined, these entries - which came from as far as the United Kingdom, United States, Indonesia and Germany - ensured pre-selection was a very difficult task for our selection panel. I would like to personally thank our judges, Angus Trumble, Director National Portrait Gallery, and Suzanne Buljan, Director Australian Centre for Photography. Yours is a role I do not envy, particularly considering the quality and diversity of entries that we have received for The Percivals in 2014. Thank you to all of those who have made The Percivals the huge success it is, and I trust you will all enjoy The Percivals in 2014.

SPONSOR’S MESSAGE
DANIEL CHRISTIE MANAGER GLENCORE PORT OPERATIONS
I
t is with great pleasure that Glencore is once again partnering with Perc Tucker Regional Gallery and Townsville City Council to deliver the Glencore Percival Portrait Painting Prize – one of the nation’s leading portrait prizes, and an undoubted highlight in northern Australia’s arts and cultural calendar. Our organisation has been the major sponsor of this biennial exhibition through the Community Program North Queensland since 2008. In that time, the exhibition has gone from strength to strength, with the community embracing The Percivals as their own. Through hard work and the enduring passion of the artists, the exhibition has grown from humble beginnings to become a revered competition offering a $40,000 acquisitive prize. The positive impacts for our region engendered by the exhibition are many; positioning Townsville as a leading arts and cultural regional centre, raising the profile of our artists, attracting works by nationally and internationally regarded artists to our doorstep, generating cultural tourism, and of course helping to build the City of Townsville Art Collection through one significant acquisition. The Glencore Community Program North Queensland (GCPNQ), formerly known as the Xstrata Community Program North Queensland, demonstrates our commitment to north Queensland and our belief that communities should benefit from our operations, both in the short and long term. The delivery of the Glencore Percival Portrait Painting Prize significantly contributes to achieving those goals. I trust you will all enjoy the exhibition.
SPONSOR’S MESSAGE
DUO Magazine Percival Photographic Portrait Prize
SCOTT MORRISON PUBLISHER AND CREATIVE DIRECTOR DUO MAGAZINE
W
e decided to sponsor the DUO Magazine Percival Photographic Portrait Prize to encourage photographers to go beyond what is comfortable and take on the challenge of capturing an image that reveals the ‘inner person’ of the subject. Photography plays a significant part in magazines and especially portrait photography in DUO Magazine. Just as we write about the person in our profile pieces and interviews, our aim when shooting their portrait for the story is to capture an image that reveals something we didn’t know or expect, as if you can ‘read’ their story from looking at their portrait. It’s an art and a skill that is difficult to achieve. As a team of designers, photographers and writers we are always striving to push the boundaries and create a magazine that our readers appreciate. We’re extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to sponsor the DUO Magazine Percival Photographic Portrait Prize. We’ve been overwhelmed with the quantity and quality of the entries this inaugural competition has attracted and we’re very keen to sponsor the event in 2016. We’d like to thank all the outstanding photographers who entered and the Townsville City Council staff for their excellent organisation of the competition and exhibition.

ON THE FRINGE
ANIMAL PORTRAITS Coinciding with this year’s display of the Glencore Percival Portrait Painting Prize is Animal Portraits, a fun and frivolous exhibition that aims to share the spotlight and capture the personalities of our scaly, feathered, and furry friends.
The biennial exhibition, which offers one major prize of $1,000, was conceived by the exhibition’s major sponsor in 2010. It has continued to enjoy support from major sponsor Glencore, and is warmly received by Townsville residents. Importantly, the exhibition also continues to encourage accomplished works that clearly illustrate the affection with which we view our pets and wildlife.

ON THE FRINGE THE PEOPLE’S PERCIVAL As part of the city-wide celebration of portraiture The Percivals, Gallery Services has organised The PEOPLE’S Percival. This exhibition of photographs, displayed on the Flinders Street banners in the city’s CBD, captures the true face of Townsville; the unsung heroes, the friends, family and neighbours, the everyday residents that make Townsville what it is. Gallery Services invited residents to submit photographs of individuals they believed were deserving of recognition, and selected 60 images for inclusion. The exhibition forms part of Gallery Services’ Creative Spaces program, which seeks to identify non-traditional gallery spaces which can be activated as exhibition spaces or locations for arts activity in order to engage a broader cross-section of the community.
EDUCATION & ACTIVITY BOOKS To support The Percivals, Gallery Services is offering a developed public program, and series of educational activities for local schools and students. Also available is a free children’s activity book to enable younger visitors to follow along with the exhibitions, learn about portrait painting and photography, and get some insight as to how to create their own portraits.
