About Looby
This documentary film uncovers the life and work of acclaimed indigenous painter Keith Looby.
Looby's insistence on painting controversial figures-from communist Rupert Lockwood to feminist Anne Summers-won him few friends in power. Likewise, his illustrations on the horrors of colonialism remain confronting today.
Looby reveals the ruthless politics of Australian art world. It's the story of what happens when an artist chooses to speak out.

The latter with Max Gillies as Bob Hawke in 1984, with his works being owned by all major public galleries in Australia as well as New York's Museum of Modern Art (MOMA).
