		Johansen argued that Ruddy’s use of materials which included charcoal mixed with varnish, technique including a use of line-work, and colour was a drawing rather than a painting and therefore ineligible for the prize.
		During the two-day hearing Ruddy gave extensive evidence, delivered in both affidavit and oral form, of how the work was conceived and the process and materials he employed to create the work.
		Justice Hamilton found in favour of the Art Gallery of NSW Trust and Ruddy, ruling that the court was not required to interfere with the decision of the trustees because the work could not be excluded from the category of works which had been painted.

		Craig Ruddy must be a relieved man. After winning the 2004 Archibald prize for his portrait of David Gulpilil he found the decision to be contested by another artist, Tony Johansen.
		The case was a near doppelganger of the watershed controversy surrounding William Dobell's portrait of Joseph Smith - except in that case the dispute centered around whether Dobell's work constituted a portrait or a caricature.
		It isn't that the portrait was defined by the court to be a painting - rather the Judge pointed out that the courts aren't the place to be defining the qualities of different works of art.

		It is usual that there be a measure (and often several measures) of disagreement between the competition judges (the Trustees of the Art Gallery of NSW Trust (Trustees)), the critics and the public over the choice of the winning entry.
		So, when on 6 May 2004 Craig Ruddy was awarded the Archibald Prize People’s Choice Award for his work David Gulpilil—Two Worlds, a little over a month after being awarded the Archibald Prize, the level of consensus and harmony between the public and the judges was quite unusual.

	The Archibald Prize Challenge - Legal Herald
		It was argued that Ruddy’s portrait of Aboriginal actor David Gulpilil should have been disqualified because it was a charcoal drawing rather than a painting and therefore not an artwork for the purposes of the competition.
		After days of determining the definition of what is considered an “artwork” and the differences between “drawings” and “paintings”, it was finally established by the NSW Supreme Court in a gloriously simple statement that art is a matter of interpretation.
		For that reason alone, there was no basis for excluding Ruddy’s portrait from the competition and the NSW Art Gallery Trust did not make a wrong decision in awarding him the Prize in 2004.
