  Sydney Thompson Dobell - LoveToKnow 1911
SYDNEY THOMPSON DOBELL (1824-1874), English poet and critic, was born on the 5th of April 1824 at Cranbrook, Kent.
Dobell's poem, The Roman, dedicated to the interests of political liberty in Italy, is marked by pathos, energy and passionate love of freedom, but it is overlaid with monologue, which is carried to a dreary excess in Balder, relieved though the latter is by fine descriptive passages, and by some touching songs.
In Gloucestershire Dobell was well known as an advocate of social reform, and he was a pioneer in the application of the co-operative system to private enterprise.

 A Biography of Sir William Dobell
In 1929 Dobell was awarded the Society of Artists' Travelling Scholarship and travelled to England to study at the Slade School under Wilson Steer, Henry Tonks and William Orpen.
Dobell's 1943 work of Joshua Smith "Portrait of an artist" which was awarded the Archibald was contested in 1944 by two unsuccessful artists who brought a lawsuit against Dobell and the Gallery's Board of Trustees in the Supreme Court.
Dobell was capable of displaying crisp objectiveness one moment and fleshy satire which reflected a subjective, somewhat darker view of the world the next.

DOBELL, SIR WILLIAM (1899-1970), painter, was born on 24 September 1899, at Newcastle, New South Wales, sixth surviving and youngest child of native-born parents Robert Dobell, bricklayer, and his wife Margaret Emma, née Wrightson.
Dobell argued in defence that he was an artist of sound training, whose experience overseas had been supported by winning the travelling scholarship.
Dobell was prepared to 'admit a slight exaggeration' in the portrait.

 Art Interview - William Dobell (1899 - 1970)
During his time in Sydney, Dobell enrolled in evening classes at the prestigious Julian Ashton Art School where he studied under the instruction of Henry Gibbons and George Lambert from 1924 to 1929.
Consequently, this made way for Dobell’s established reputation within elitist art circles in which he was believed to have added a whole new dimension to the nature of Australian painting, leading him to become known as the figurehead of a new Sydney wartime movement.
Although the award was upheld and Dobell was appointed Trustee of the Art Gallery of NSW for a four-year term, the ordeal left Dobell physically and emotionally scarred.

 Dobell House...A short History of Sir William Dobell and Dobell House
William Dobell was born 1899 in Bull St, Cooks Hill, a suburb of Newcastle.
Dobell won the court case but his confidence in his art was destroyed.
The original section of what is now Dobell House, was built in the 1920s and was irregularly added onto over the next 40 years, first by Dobell’s father, Robert and later by William Dobell, after he bought it from his father’s estate in 1942 and subsequently took up residence with his eldest sister.

 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.
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 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.

 William Dobell, Sir Biography | Encyclopedia of World Biography
William Dobell was born in Newcastle, New South Wales, on Sept. 24, 1899.
The award was immediately challenged on the grounds that Dobell's entry showed a degree of distortion which made it a caricature rather than a true portrait, but the court upheld the judging panel's decision.
Resultant newspaper publicity greatly expanded interest in Dobell's work, but as a result of the controversy Dobell withdrew to Wangi, a small coastal town north of Sydney, and became a shy and enigmatic figure.

However, within hours of Mr Latham heading back to Sydney, the government trumped Labor's Medicare plan by announcing its own measures to make visits to the doctor cheaper for all Australians.
