Marion Mitchell Morrison[a] (born Marion Robert Morrison; May 26, 1907 – June 11, 1979), known professionally as John Wayne and nicknamed 'Duke', was an American actor, filmmaker and Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient. He was among the top box office draws for three decades. Wayne was born in Winterset, Iowa but grew up in Southern California. He was president of Glendale High School class of 1925. He found work at local film studios when he lost his football scholarship to the University of Southern California as a result of a bodysurfing accident,:63–64 initially working for the Fox Film Corporation. He appeared mostly in bit parts, but his first leading role came in Raoul Walsh's Western The Big Trail (1930), an early widescreen film epic which was a box-office failure. Only leading roles in numerous B movies followed during the 1930s, most of them also Westerns. Wayne's career was rejuvenated when John Ford's Stagecoach (1939) made him an instant mainstream star. He starred in 142 motion pictures altogether, including the dozens with his name above the title produced before 1939. According to one biographer, "John Wayne personified for millions the nation's frontier heritage. Eighty-three of his movies were Westerns, and in them he played cowboys, cavalrymen, and unconquerable loners extracted from the Republic's central creation myth." Wayne's other roles in Westerns include a cattleman driving his herd on the Chisholm Trail in Red River (1948), a Civil War veteran whose niece is abducted by a tribe of Comanches in The Searchers (1956), a troubled rancher competing with a lawyer (James Stewart) for a woman's hand in marriage in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962), and a cantankerous one-eyed marshal in True Grit (1969). He is also remembered for his roles in The Quiet Man (1952), Rio Bravo (1959) with Dean Martin, and The Longest Day (1962). In his final screen performance, he starred as an aging gunfighter battling cancer in The Shootist (1976). He appeared with many important Hollywood stars of his era, and made his last public appearance at the Academy Awards ceremony on April 9, 1979

Paul Harris is an artist who lives and works in Brisbane, Australia. His main interest is portraiture and figurative painting. He has studied for several years at the Institute of Art at Windsor in Queensland. He has had several group exhibitions and is represented by The Norbertellen Art Gallery in Los Angeles. At present he is working out of The Cabin studio at Tarragindi, Brisbane, which is run by Jugglers Art Space. His aim is to give a sensual and tactile impression on the surface of the linen. The portraits draw upon a range of cultural influence such as Late Baroque, mid 20th century and contemporary style and horror. The artist wants the reader to be both enchanted and repelled by his work. He primarily works in oils and pastels and finds portraiture fascinating as a means of artistic expression. It is one of the oldest forms of art, the creation of life like images from coloured pigment. The contours and features of the face, and the skin tone and texture always present a compelling challenge to the artist. He likes to experiment with colour in his portraits and particularly with flesh colour which can provide a sensual element to the portrait. His aim is to project an image to the viewer of the painting and hope an exchange takes place between the viewer and the work. He wants the viewer’s imagination and thoughts to meet the work of art halfway.
