Critical Witness: Official war artists after 1999, currently at the Australian War Memorial features several paintings by Rick Amor. In 1999, Amor was appointed the official war artist to East Timor by the Australian War Memorial, the first such appointment since the Vietnam War. Rick Amor paved the way for a generation of artists to “observe, record and interpret” the activities of the Australian Defence Force.
