	PM - Archibald prize winner's work critiqued
		MARK COLVIN: Echoes of Sir William Dobell and Joshua Smith always reverberate around the country's premier portrait prize, the Archibald, and this year the echoes are louder than ever.
		In 1943, Dobell's portrait of his friend, Smith, was described as a caricature, became the subject of a notorious legal case and destroyed their friendship.
		The people who gave it first prize, Australian newspaper art critic, Giles Auty says the judges, the trustees of the Gallery of New South Wales, are just bankers who know nothing about art and, he says, Cullen's work is crude.

		Dobell's receipt of the 1944 Archibald Prize for his Portrait of Joshua Smith made him an Australian household name.
		Dobell's painting Boy at the Basin (1932) is indicative of the influence of seventeenth-century Dutch painting on the young artist, especially the tight brushwork and sensitive use of light evinced in Vermeer's interiors.

	Archibald Prize Challenge
		The recently introduced prize condition disallowing the submission of wet paintings would have eliminated the entry of the Dobell portrait, a winner that might be argued to be an example of the sort of excellence that Archibald sought to nurture with his prize.
		It is only in the awarding of the prize that Archibald's intent is clear, that it must be a 'portrait...painted...' and it is in the awarding of the prize itself that the Trustees are restricted from awarding it to anything other than a painting, painted from life.
		The 2004 Archibald Prize was won by a beautiful portrait that unfortunately in the opinion of many is a drawing, not a painting.

	William Dobell Biography
		Dobell won the £1500 Australian Women’s Weekly portrait prize with a portrait of Helena Rubinstein in 1957, and Time magazine commissioned a cover portrait of the Prime Minister, the Rt Hon.
		The crowning touch to Dobell’s career was a large retrospective exhibition held at the AGNSW in July 1965: it comprised 224 pictures from all periods.
		These events were to be the precursors of great changes not only in Dobell’s own affairs but also in the local status of all artists; by 1962 the economic status of artists throughout Australia bore little relationship to the conditions of 1939.

		The Trustees of the Art Gallery of New South Wales and William Dobell were the defendants to the action in which the relators sought to restrain payment of the prize money to William Dobell on the basis that any such payment would be in breach of trust.
		It was alleged that the 'picture painted by the defendant William Dobell is not a portrait but is a caricature of the said Joshua Smith bearing a certain degree of resemblance to him but being the characteristic features of his appearance highly distorted and exaggerated'.
		The Dobell portrait depicts a gaunt, almost skeletal Smith, and critics of the work argued that the work was a caricature and not a portrait.
