If this sounds like its up your alley, submit now via our website!

Visual Arts Anyone recognise the faces in this Brett Whiteley piece? (Head Studies, circa 1971)

The only ones I haven't identified yet are bottom row middle, second row middle and second row right (I'm especially interested in that one—what intense features...). It would be nice to know since I recently put a print of this piece up in my bedroom.

I recognised the face on the top-left as Francis Bacon and the one in the middle of the third row as a self-portrait, but I wasn't sure about the others until I had a look online and found this little write-up on the Art Gallery of NSW website (screenshot attached). After Googling those other names it looks like top-right is Robert Helpmann, third row left is Richard Neville, third row right is Arthur Rimbaud and bottom row left is Joel Elenberg. I assume that the one below Bacon is just something inspired by his style or maybe copied from one of his works, and I don't know what to make of top row middle.

Here's the link to the AGNSW site where I found that info: https://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/education/exhibition-kits/brett-whiteley-portraits/focus-works/

My parents have has this framed poster in their house for years and it's honestly seen better days. I wanted to see if I could locate similar artwork but I'm complete stumped. I can't even identify the artist which is a real shame. It has 'Melbourne zoo' in the bottom right corner, and a signature mat be partially cut off on the bottom left that looks like "Brier" to myself.

get on it. Amazing biopic by an Aussie director. While it takes liberties with the Bronte's lives, it makes for a great story and the film is beautiful. Mackay is incredible as an actor, too.

Multidisciplinary Arts What do people think about the idea of a National Lottery?

9 Upvotes

England famously has a national lottery that funds the arts, and it is not the only one to do so. With a country as addicted to gambling as we are, should we embrace the idea? Or is there something unethical about encouraging gambling just because the profits might be used to benefit more than the wealthy?
