Vincent Namatjira is the great grandson of Albert Namatjira, who is without doubt the greatest indigenous Australian artist
of the first half of the 20th century in my opinion.
I just don't like the Namatjira painting at all. Beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder.
IMO, Adnate's Be Brave is so much better - considering it was done with spray paint.
I have The Dance and Be Brave (my framed print is a pretty decent size, Liz - it should be, it cost me enough), but I wouldn't put the Archibald winner on my wall.
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
