Australia’s wealthiest person comes under the microscope after unsuccessfully trying to get the National Gallery to remove a painting of her by an acclaimed Aboriginal artist.

Thought you all might find this interesting. I like this artist, but can imagine seeing oneself portrayed this way could be jarring.

    At first, I kind of understood how it could be seen as unflattering but changed my opinion when I learned that her money came from mining, the painting is far too kind. As someone who grew up where mining was part of the culture, fuck her and every other mine owner.
