Art might very well be in the eye of the beholder (another tired old cliche used to avoid discussion). So, in my eye, this piece of 'art' is trash. As is the latest painting of HM the King by an actual, professional and accomplished painter.

The difference is that King Charles 'likes' his trashy portrait, because he has to, and Mrs. Rinehart hates hers because she doesn't have to.

Namatjira has obviously committed a racist, hate-filled act against a rich white woman.

What a pathetic little creep he is.

"I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly
wounding because I think, well, if they attack me
personally, it means they have not a single political
argument left."

Margaret Thatcher.

Whatever blows your sails gentlemen.
Whatever floats your boat.
Whatever rocks your socks.
Whatever sizzles your bacon.

And the band plays on.

BTW: This Art Collection in the National Gallery is
not meant to be a mirror image of its subjects. It's
a collection of caricatures, and should not be taken
seriously - unless of course one has an enormous ego
and no sense of humour. Which I suspect perhaps the case
with Ms Rhinehart. I hope not. I hope she's only stirring
up interest in the art for the Gallery's benefit.

She's an intelligent lady, and knows what she's doing.

A mirror-image portrait would be out of place in that
art collection of caricatures.

Here folks is the exhibition of some of acclaimed
artist Vincent Namajira's works.

http://nga.gov.au/exhibitions/vincent-namatjira-australia-in-colour/

It charts the artist's career, revealing the power of his
painting and the establishment of him as a satirical chronicler
of Australian identity. We're told that his paintings offer a
wry look at the politics of history, power, and leadership
from a contemporary Aboriginal perspective.

The artist was a winner of 2019 Ramsay Art Prize. He was
the first Indigenous to win the Archibald Prize in 2020.
And he was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM),
in 2020 for his contribution to Indigenous Visual Art.

His great grandfather was the famous artist - Albert Namatjira.
