Theme: At Ease Artist: Sam FULLBROOK Birth/Death: 1922 Title: Norman (Whopper) Stephens Credit Line: Collection of The Brisbane Club The well-known jockey Norman (Whopper) Stephens had the sharp features and cocksure manner typical of jockeys, and Fullbrook set out to capture this distinctive aspect. Although Fullbrook is a reluctant portraitist he is responsible for some of the great portraits in modern Australian art. The painting was awarded the Archibald Prize in 1974.
