Foxy,
sounds good to me so, when will we see Leftist Bureaucrats & other hangers-on with such demeaning expressions in such "paintings" ?

Indyvidual,

Unfortunately for you that will never happen.
With your small screen you will never be capable
of seeing the bigger picture.

" To be able to take the next generation, my daughters,
and my granddaughters, to better understand and respect
the people in the Outback and experience the wonders of
our country, would definitely be one of my favourite
duties."

Hear, hear!

It is said that the reason Picasso started painting his abstract art was because he was able to draw fingers and so started drawing in a way that would hide his deficiencies.

When I see a painting like the Reinhart one, I see an artist who hasn't the technical ability to draw a human face and hides it by drawing a caricature. 'A Plot of her Own' (by Loren Entz) it ain't.

Still, it shouldn't be removed. Censorship is never right. It can be left up as another marker (yet another marker) of the decline of elite thought.

PS - as to fingers, its rather interesting that AI also struggles to draw fingers. Indeed one of the first things you should do when trying to determine if a picture is AI generated is to look at the hands of the subject. They'll often be distorted.

Wasn't the Voice all about giving people a say in matters directly affecting them? It would be nice if that sentiment could be more broadly applied.

Caricature tends to apply to public figures and relates to public issues that involve them. That might be why Harry Seidler's defamation actions against Patrick Cook for his famous cartoon were thrown out.

Aside from any legal implications, displaying a portrait of someone publicly against their wishes would seem rude and disrespectful; the act of a bully reveling in his humiliation of another.

Having looked at Namatjira's piece, I think it quite a work of art: Engaging, fun, colourful, and Gina is portrayed no differently from the other subjects. Given the other subjects I think she might even feel honoured to be placed in such company. Nonetheless, art is subjective and I think it a shame all was not sorted before the work went on display.
