Montaigne, the performing name of singer Jessica Cerro, is a longtime friend of Gutman.

Key Points: 
  • Montaigne, the performing name of singer Jessica Cerro, is a longtime friend of Gutman.
  • It is fair to say that, until recently, Gutman’s portrait would probably not have been hung, let alone won, the Archibald Prize.

Self-contained and vulnerable

    • The pose shows the artist as both self-contained and vulnerable, hugging one knee to her body, her feet bare and open.
    • The collage moves into paint, but the paint has been scratched so from a distance it looks as though it, too, is collage.
    • Behind the figure a stitched in translucent panel reveals the struts supporting the painting’s stretcher: simultaneously revealing and concealing.

Painting the music

    • Inma, which was awarded the Wynne Prize, is a visual celebration of the music he feels in the song and dance of this place of his childhood.
    • He then led them in the song that is described in his gloriously complex and rhythmic painting.
    • That honour goes to Doris Bush Nungarrayi, the senior Luritja artist who was awarded the Sulman Prize for her painting Mamunya ngalyananyi (Monster coming) – a painting showing Mamu, the shapeshifting malevolent spirits that haunt the Anangu.

From joyous celebration to the depths of grief: the new orthodoxy of the Archibald prize is there is no orthodoxy

About 50 years ago an unknown artist entered a portrait of the artist Russell Drysdale in the Archibald Prize.

Key Points: 
  • About 50 years ago an unknown artist entered a portrait of the artist Russell Drysdale in the Archibald Prize.
  • The gallery trustees, who knew Drysdale well, loved it – but it was never hung.

The trifecta

    • It rightly hangs in a prominent position, opposite the podium where the final judgement will be announced.
    • Whiskey is also exhibiting Come see Kaylene in the Sulman Prize, a reworked Northern Territory tourism poster from the days when TAA flew “the friendly way”.
    • Jason Phu has managed the trifecta this year, with entries hung in all three competitions.

Life is short, art is long

    • When trying to assess this year’s exhibition I keep on thinking of Sydney’s Royal Easter Show.
    • It is enormously popular with the general public for it sideshows and baby animals, magnificent displays of agricultural produce, fairy floss and CWA scones.
    • But at its heart there is the very serious purpose of competition – from fine wool sheep and beef cattle to dogs and poultry.
    • Life is short, art is long, and will outlive us all.
