Antonio Dattilo-Rubbo: The Oil Portraits in the Collection of the Manly Art Gallery & Museum The faces that fascinated Dattilo-Rubbo so much live on in this extensive collection of oil portraiture, that makes up a large part of the Dattilo-Rubbo holdings in the Manly Art Gallery & Museum. Portraits of old men take up a large part; as Tom Bass pointed out, Dattilo-Rubbo was fascinated with the old face. However, students and young women also caught the portraist's eye, and stereotypes - the worker, the jackaroo, and the friar. Dattilo-Rubbo's self-portraits reveal the artist's perception of himself in various stages of his own life.
