The portrait Australia’s richest woman wants removed from the National Gallery of Art
Arts/CraftsFor anyone who needs more info
Rinehart, 70, is the Executive Chairwoman of Hancock Prospecting, a privately owned mineral exploration and extraction company, and is worth an estimated $30.6 billion.
The award-winning Aboriginal artist Vincent Namatjira included Rinehart in his current large-scale exhibition at the National Gallery of Australia, along with the late Queen Elizabeth II, Jimi Hendrix and football player Adam Goode.
she disliked the painting for it's features and the double chin.
what she looks like vs the painting got it here
She looks fine, especially for 70. But it seems like the artist was more trying to portray her inner beauty, which he nailed.
Mrs. Armstrong: [Looking at a painting of Kramer] I sense great vulnerability, a man-child crying out for love, an innocent orphan in the postmodern world.
Mr. Armstrong: I see a parasite. A sexually depraved miscreant who is seeking only to gratify his basest and most immediate urges.
Mrs. Armstrong: His struggle is man's struggle. He lifts my spirit.
Mr. Armstrong: He is a loathsome, offensive brute... yet I can't look away.
Mrs. Armstrong: He transcends time and space.
Mr. Armstrong: He sickens me.
Mrs. Armstrong: I love it.
Mr. Armstrong: Me too
“I’m Cosmo Kramer the Ass Man!”
I’ve had this picture framed in my living room for 10 years lol

He nailed the inner beauty of a thin skinned billionaire who should have nothing to worry about late in life. What a self-own to bring international attention to your own narcissism by complaining about some mediocre art that the whole world would have otherwise ignored. Probably the best thing that ever happened to that artist.
Fucked around with the Streisand effect and the world found out!
Thanks for that tip – I had not heard of that. The Wikipedia page on that is hilarious:
"Image 3850" had been downloaded only six times prior to Streisand's lawsuit, two of those being by Streisand's attorneys. Public awareness of the case led to more than 420,000 people visiting the site over the following month.
Two years later, Mike Masnick of Techdirt named the effect after the Streisand incident when writing about Marco Beach Ocean Resort's takedown notice to urinal.net (a site dedicated to photographs of urinals) over its use of the resort's name.
“How long is it going to take before lawyers realize that the simple act of trying to repress something they don't like online is likely to make it so that something that most people would never, ever see (like a photo of a urinal in some random beach resort) is now seen by many more people? Let's call it the Streisand Effect.” - Mike Masnick
Reminds me of Trump‘s ongoing self-own in court right now. By refusing to stipulate (verify) impossible to deny facts about his case before the trial started, this requires a lot of evidence to be admitted into court in front of the jury and in front of the whole world so that his lawyers then have to read out texts from witnesses calling Trump a douchebag and a shit-weasel and everything else, and everybody hears it, and it gets entered into the court record. This is all unnecessary, and it drags out the court case longer, and then Trump complains about how long it’s taking. Trump could have saved himself the embarrassment and saved everybody time in court, but that’s not how he operates.
Trump could have saved himself the embarrassment and saved everybody time in court, but that’s not how he operates.
Nor is it what he wants. This approach is both deliberate and a shrewd political move. Delay counts for everything here with the election coming up and as far as the stuff being read into the record it gives his rabid cult members reinforcement for the persecution myth.
It's not a self own, this approach is his modus operandi.
I agree with you, but in terms of Trumpworld, your last sentence is kind of an oxymoron. My point is his modus operandi IS a self-own. He just never realizes it. All the trouble that he suffers through is trouble that he brings on himself.
And he has no prayer of delaying this trial beyond the election, though he will appeal it until he runs out of options.
And it could be that his trial is going so badly because he’s giving marching orders to his lawyers. He has set up a massive losing strategy for himself. He denies he had anything to do with Stormy Daniels, but that makes no sense since there would be no reason to pay her off. And then he says he would pay Stormy off so Melania wouldn’t find out, and that it was not a political calculation, but lots of evidence surfaces showing that he doesn’t care what Melanie thinks, and the jury is observing that his family never shows up in court, but his political allies do.
But his position is to deny that he had an affair, deny that he made any payments, deny that he was classifying them as business expenses for Cohen‘s legal work- all of that seen through one lens doesn’t make any sense, and it just shows that his strategy is to deny everything and make it seem like the whole world is against him.
What would’ve been a winning legal strategy would be to admit he had the affair, and that he paid her offer for her silence, which is not illegal, and then he could just say that, hey, I’ll admit the truth about everything else, and then it’s plausible that classifying reimbursements to Cohen as a business expense was just a mistake. This way he only has one lie to cover for and there’s room for reasonable doubt, and he would only have to turn one juror, instead of showing himself as a nonstop inveterate liar and longtime criminal. A lot of legal experts are pretty sure he will be convicted.
Right? Grow up. You don’t get to dictate other people’s art just because you’re rich.
This needs to become a thing. Portraying the rich who are all obsessed with status as the ugly fuckers they are.
They nailed this for Charles’s royal portrait too.
(There is no inner beauty. This woman is a monster destroying the planet. The artist deliberately portrays powerful people in ways that remove inherent entitlement and power. He did a lot of pics of the Royal family and trump as well. Worth noting the artist is an indigenous Australian and the subject is a mining billionaire)
I believe the inner beauty comment was sarcasm, but no harm dotting the i’s.
Her father who started the mining company was a racist fuck:
Perhaps the most well known controversy in the history of the company centres around the racist views of founder Lang Hancock towards Indigenous Australians. Hancock is quoted as saying,[18]
"Mining in Australia occupies less than one-fifth of one percent of the total surface of our continent and yet it supports 14 million people. Nothing should be sacred from mining whether it's your ground, my ground, the blackfellow's ground or anybody else's. So the question of Aboriginal land rights and things of this nature shouldn’t exist."
In a 1984 television interview,[19] Hancock suggested forcing unemployed indigenous Australians − specifically "the ones that are no good to themselves and who can't accept things, the half-castes" − to collect their welfare cheques from a central location. And when they had gravitated there, I would dope the water up so that they were sterile and would breed themselves out in the future, and that would solve the problem."
She's not any better:
Executive Chairman of Hancock Prospecting, Gina Rinehart, caused controversy in 2022, when she failed to apologise for or denounce comments made by her late father in the 1984 television interview.[20] Hancock Prospecting subsequently withdrew an A$15 million sponsorship from Netball Australia after Indigenous netballer Donnell Wallam voiced concerns about the deal and the impact of the comments, pertaining to a genocide, by "poisoning" and "sterilising" Indigenous Australians to "solve the problem"; as well as concerns about the company's environmental record.[21][22][23][24][25][26][27]
Her father who started the mining company was a racist fuck:
I don't think we can apply a literal "sins of the father" here, even if she did keep the company
She's not any better:
Well nevermind then, fuck her
Holy shit, that's old school *Colonial* Racism, like 1800s imperial racism.
That's the kind of racism that you fucking find in a pith helmet being said by men named Nigel
This painting is well deserved
isn't it the whole point. She is a bad person so her inner beauty is represented by the artist as ugly.
The 'inner beauty' comment was sarcasm, you are in agreement with OP.
Uh, dude, that’s exactly what they meant by “inner beauty”
im not seeing it at all. im seeing a demon
Under appreciated comment right here. Nice ! 👏
I looked up his paintings of other famous people, not one of them is flattering to the portrayed person.
This one is particularly unflattering though. You gotta admit.
Hendrix was pretty good.
I love his art. Went and saw his exhibition when it was in Adelaide and it was fantastic. Quirky and fun.
Depends what you mean by flattering. In the portrait of Gina I see a frightened little girl struggling with the influence of her bullying dictatorial father. It’s a kinder portrayal than she deserves.
Thanks and hahaha
“It took like three hours to finish the shading on your upper lip. It’s probably the best painting I’ve ever done”
"Gina, you fat lard, come get some dinner!"
😂😂😂
She should probably be drinking skim milk though…
You also have to take into account that Reinhart, her family, and company has a bad history with aboroginal people.
The company, Hancock Prospecting, has a really turbid history of mining in historical aboriginal lands and being openly hostile towards them when they complained about the destruction of sacred areas.
Her father, Lang Hancock, was openly racist towards them, going as far as to call on the Australian government to exterminate them through sterilization on a television interview in 1984.
Reinhart has never denounced her father or his views, and judging by her political leanings (she's a conservative and a big fan of Donald Trump) it isn't far fetched to think she leans that way.
She also recently had an incident where she withdrew a 15 million dollar sponsorship from Australia's netball team after aboroginal players refused to wear a uniform that had Hancock Prospecting logos on it because of her father and the company's history.
Reinhart is a big supporter of sports and apparently this refusal really pissed her off.
Reinhart is a big supporter of sports
Reinhart is a big supporter of advertising in sports, not sports itself. She just was mad she wasn't able to exploit the players for her company.
I love that people keep telling me we aren't in a class war, but the proofs in the pudding baby, Trump and everyone who follows or likes him, wants society to further acquiesce to the rich just getting away with anything and everything. It's not enough to get favor in every aspect of daily life, they also want to be able to wholesale reach into the pockets of the poor and middle class and milk them until they're dry.
What's so great about her dad's initial quote of producing so many jobs in such a small fraction of the country's land, the thing is respecting Aboriginal rights can also be done at the same time, you know what the difference is of course? Ownership making less billions into their pockets. Sell it as Aboriginal rights are going to destroy families and income, when all it's going to do is prevent you from buying your sixth yacht.
We need a reckoning, preferably before the drone armies come and wipe us all out.
I love that people keep telling me we aren't in a class war,
We aren't. “War” implies people are fighting back, rather than just quietly surrendering or even actively helping the wealthiest to fuck them over.
Oof, that one stings for sure
These people all need a taste of their own shiite
Painting looks better Gina Rinehart is a coal loving mining magnate with thin skin no wonder an aboriginal artist depicted her as this seeing what she did to the land
He nailed it.
Really captures her essence.
He actually gave her chin more definition than it actually has… in her photo it has basically been absorbed into her neck.
Lmao the artist really did her dirty
Fun fact, Goya never titled pieces, including the one you are alluding to. They were named by those that catalogued them or art historians.
It's true, EDIT: these series were never meant to be seen. They were all found posthumously.
Painted on the walls of his house.
Imagine his mental state living with all that dark shit everywhere
They're even referred to as his black paintings.
That is only true of his late period. Earlier in life he worked as a court painter and then he worked independently as a painter and printmaker for many years. Much of his work was known while he was alive. It’s really his black paintings that were found after his death which includes Saturn devouring his son.
r/ausmemes been having a blast with this
I love the Streisand effect.
Holy shit they’re having an absolute field day lmao! Also nice username
New phone wallpaper. Fantastic
Reduce appetite and lose weight with this wallpaper to save money
Dietologists hate this one simple trick…
I wasn’t expecting this hilariousness this early. Those memes are ruthless 🤣😂🤣
The funny thing is that means the artist captured her pretty well. She cut her children off their inheritance.
She didn't just cut them off - that infers it was her money to cut them out of. No, she moved money (allegedly fraudulently, repeatedly) out of a trust that had been set up for them specifically and into her control.
Doesn't everyone complain about nepo-babies? They're povo-babies now.
Can someone explain the context?
Australia's National Gallery is putting on an exhibition of work by Vincent Namatjira, which includes this portrait of Gina Rinehart. She didn't commission it, or sit for it, but she is a public figure as the head of a mining conglomeration. She has been trying to pull strings to get the gallery to take out the picture from the exhibition. Artist has released a statement saying ‘I paint the world as I see it. People don’t have to like my paintings, but I hope they take the time to look and think, “Why has this Aboriginal bloke painted these powerful people? What is he trying to say?”‘
"Famous for aggressively demanding what she wants whenever she wants it, Gina Rinehart has recently taken issue with the portrait of her hanging in the NGA.
The notably vain billionaire who inherited an eye-watering amount of wealth from her father who called for Indigenous Australians to be poisoned, has now demanded the portrait painted by the acclaimed Western Aranda artist Vincent Namatjira be taken down.
Famous for his quirky style of painting, Namatjira is known as a ‘satirical chronicler of Australian identity’ whose “paintings offer a wry look at the politics of history, power and leadership from a contemporary Aboriginal perspective.”
Isn’t this the same women that had all of her children sue her?
This painting reflects who she is on the inside
That doesn't surprise me, this is the first I've heard of her, I'm a Canadian. Isn't the Streisand effect great?!
Canadian
Fun fact. One of her companies is lobbying the province of Alberta to do mountain top removal coal mining. This type of mining has been proven to poison watersheds with selenium, and has done so just over the border in BC.
Environmental impact assessments for Alberta have been done, and the ruling party is appealing a court ruling ordering the release of this information. Alberta has phased out of using coal for power generation. This coal would be exported, but the poison would be ours forever. Alberta's, and every state and province downstream.
As someone from a state that has been strip mined naked for coal (Kentucky), I cannot stress enough how bad this would be if this passes.
Kentucky has been irreversibly contaminated by strip and mountain top removal coal mining. The water table is polluted, people are dying, and the economy went into the shitter after the coal stopped being viable.
It’s economically, environmentally, and morally suicidal to do this and I can only hope Alberta keeps declining the proposal.
It’s economically, environmentally, and morally suicidal to do this
Ok, but have you considered the shareholders?
My god I love living is a Plutocratic Oligarchy, it is just the coolest thing ever to watch the end of the world unfold before my very eyes. 65 million years have passed since the last extinction event and modern humans only have been around for 170,000 years. We are incredibly lucky to be here to witness this grand finale.
Oh don't worry our government with a leader that seems to praise people like Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump is pushing full speed ahead on mountain top coal mining and increasing open ground coal mines! We might have to destroy the entire province for people to get it.
The government in Alberta is radically Conservative, they're pushing full steam ahead with literally every destructive initiative they can muster. The entire province is doomed.
She's basically a Ferengi. Cares about nothing but profit, everything else be damned. Even her own family hate her.
There's a series called House of Hancock which was shown once and never again after she complained. It's around the place though.
She's basically a Ferengi
That's an insult to Ferengi... There's a sort of purity to how consistently/absolutely profit-oriented the Ferengi are, they wouldn't ask their portrait be removed, they'd ask for a share of the museum entry fees, and ask the portrait be made even worse-looking so the buzz/fees increase...
That woman is definitely a Uh-mân.
What’s the point of government if government can’t tell these ultra rich fuckers to stop killing the rest of us.
Certainly is, what a way to shine a global spotlight on it 😆
This artist is a 5D chess player
And the outside. This painting is pretty accurate 😂
Oh my goodness- I didn’t expect the portrait to be SO representational. It really does look just like her.
Looks better than her imo
He really captured the essence of her second chin.
It's definitly slimmer than her.
Honestly if I had billions of dollars and was head of a mining conglomerate, I wouldn't give a fuck if someone painted an unflattering painting of me. I'd probably try to buy it and hang it in my mansion.
It’s a symbol of something she doesn’t hold power over, and that can’t stand.
Sounds like he’s a good artist then. Bravo.
Thanks! To be honest, that’s how he paints people. I guess the painting wouldn’t be so different even if she wasn’t a cunt.
His style is growing on me. I mean, I like his portrait of Charles III way more than that sea of red that was unveiled yesterday.
Thank you
He’s trying to say, “I have to do her but because she’s a cunt, this is how!”
Why he has to do her?
He wasn’t actually told to paint her. He picked her as a subject, because she’s a public figure.
Thanks for posting Vincent Namatjira's words. Pic brings out the frightened girl inside GR, IMO. not really unsympathetic.
Australian billionaire who had her children living in poverty, before she took them to court to ensure her kids had nothing.
Billionaire Gina Rinehart’s eldest children have made a shock appearance at the West Australian Supreme Court in a high-stakes civil trial that has pitted them against their mother and two other mining dynasties.
Bianca and John joined the lawsuit in 2016, claiming their pioneer grandfather had left the iron ore deposit to them in a family trust only for their mother to “steal them” in what they alleged was a calculated fraud.
He said Rinehart came along and took the assets back unlawfully after Lang’s death in 1992, countering Hancock Prospecting’s claim the initial transfer was a breach of fiduciary duty.
Are talking poverty poverty or billionaires children poverty?
there might be a difference of a few millions between the two.
Her son's only income was a regular 9-5 job, while Gina has numerous mansions.
Doesn't really answer the question. Was this guy working as a barista or was his 9-5 a lowly portfolio manager at a hedge fund and he was having to get by on a seven figure salary?
He's the 47th richest Australian, with a net worth of about 2 billion but that is after the courts ruled in his and his sister's favour when it comes to the trust left by his grandfather. I'm not sure what his financial situation was prior to this.
John Hancock’s years-long battle with his mother Gina Rinehart over the control of family assets put him under such financial stress that he struggled to pay for new car brake pads in the mid-2000s, his lawyers have claimed.
We talking Toyota brake pads or Lambo?
Ugh, why can't poor people just like, inherit more coal???
Google up
portrait Australian richest woman
and you will get a hundred articles from all major news agencies writing about how the The richest woman in Australia is lobbying the gallery to remove her portrait - one of 21 portraits of famous people by aboriginal Australian artist. If she did not complain, nobody would have heard about the portrait.
By the way, this was not malicious, it is just the style that the artist paints, Family of the English Queen, nor other people depicted have complained. Just this one woman complained, so the whole world is swamped with her portrait ;-). Everybody AND his brother is writing about it.
She has become a perfect example of the Streisand Effect.
I mean given the reprehensible shit she and her family have done I’m willing to bet it’s a bit malicious.
What they meant is the artist’s rendering isn’t malicious.
Everything about that woman is belligerently evil.
This looks like Marjorie Taylor Greene, a very horrible American politician!
What do you mean. Looks like? This is a gif of Marjorie Taylor Greene, a very horrible American politician.

I'm a dude from Portugal, basically the other side of the globe from Australia. Not only did I see the portrait, but I also got to know who she is, what she did to her children, what her father did and what she's trying to do now.
She went from some unknown entity to being known by name.
Good job Gina.
Dude from the U.S. here. Exact same situation. Would be great if the artist allowed the picture to be part of her Wikipedia. At this point it has to be approaching noteworthiness to where inclusion wouldn't even be a question.
it was her picture on wiki a few hours ago lol
It’s been locked for “vandalism” putting up a photorealistic painting doesn’t seem like vandalism to me
A woman from india😭😂😂! Would have known nothing about this painting even if it had been displayed in that exhibition but this rich vile aunty made it all possible for us to know. She made sure everyone sees her true face lol 😂!
I now want a t-shirt of this painting, caralho.
It was her Wiki picture a few hours ago.

Honestly I would buy a t-shirt of that painting now.
The funniest thing about this is that she's been in the news before for being a pathetic toddler so that fun bit is getting brought back to memory too.
I sure as shit wouldn’t have seen it. This is my second time today
Same. Then I saw what she actually looks like and don’t blame the artist for rendering this interpretation. Now I know 1.) who she is 2.) what she looks like 3.) and have a newfound appreciation for art.
And for foreigners who don't understand why we hate this cunt so much.
This is just one of the reasons.
It's a billionaire, chief of a mineral extraction company. You don't need to explain nothing else to make me wanna hate her.
She inherited it aswell.
So beautifully said😂😂 I didn’t even think of that. Good for her for exposing herself to the masses even more.
She's worth $30.6 billion?
- She can get it removed for 30.5 billion.
The funny thing in this equation is the fact that 0.1 billion dollars is still a 100 million dollars, more than any living person needs for the rest of their life. So, she could afford it. Otherwise, it shall stay.
wow that really puts into context how insane the wealth of a billionare is. I could comfortably live the rest of my life on one percent OF ONE PERCENT of her wealth. 0.0001 of her wealth. Disgusting.
36,5 billion is a million every day - for a century
Imagine the lives she could change with that money if she gave even the tiniest of shits about her fellow human beings.

I said one percent of one percent meaning 3 million.
Still too cheap
Gina is a cow and her wealth literally comes from her racist scumbag father
American here, can we borrow this artist to paint famous Americans? Our starfucking country is too busy kissing every rich and famous person's ass.
Your artist draws the ugliness inside, our artists climb all over each other for the chance to paint their nails.
He did a couple paintings of Trump which are kinda hilarious
Hey name is Gina Rinehart and I believe she inherited her father mines which made her unfathomably rich. I'm ashamed to live in the same nation as her. She basically is greed and pig-bitch incarnate.
I'm Canadian and I hate her too, because she's desperate to fuck up the Rocky Mountains here in Alberta for more coal, as if she's not obscenely wealthy enough already.
Even more annoying: Alberta conservative politicians, who cannot receive foreign money, who cannot receive very much in campaign contributions, who cannot convert dark money into income, who at best will receive a board of directors position at the end of their tenure that pays relative peanuts, are willing to fuck up what is likely the cleanest water on the planet, drunk by at least 2 million people, and for what? Incredible what they’re willing to sell out for, and the anger across the political spectrum it provokes. Literally everyone but the scroogiest of scrooges and the absolute dumbest of right-wing partisans is against coal mining on the Eastern Slopes.
Australia really need an inheritance tax. Fuck the landed gentry.
Legal person here. While yes, your sentiment is correct, the unfortunate truth is that inheritance taxes would be most detrimental to everyday folk who would actually benefit from generational wealth vs the microscopic amount of billionaires that would otherwise find a loophole anyways.
Yep she wants to carve out our mountains and poison our rivers. We’ll of course get fucked on royalties in some way. Fucking cunt.
Yeah, the first thing I noticed about the portait was… well he made her eyes way less piggy than usual. She’s disgusting, no portait could accurately capture it, this one certainly doesn’t.
Isn't this the Barbara Streisand effect or something? If she'd just shut up and said nothing, a few thousand people might have seen it in the gallery and briefly paused to look and wonder who the hell she is, but noooo, she needs to complain (it sure ain't flattering) and try get it removed... And here I am in South Africa reading about it...
Eastern Georgia, USA. Never even heard of her. This is gold. So my friend, it looks to have made it across the world in a few hours. Wild!
100 %. The interwebs is going crazy already.
Has she tried… not looking like this?
This made me audibly laugh. Thank you lmao
It’s completely representative of the person it was meant to depict.
Plus way more people will see it now that she’s making a fuss about it
Streisand effect
That's what I like about "nice" people like her, as soon as they feel butthurt by some artwork, article, or whatever they try to use all their power to remove it from the public eye so no one will see it and find out who they really are, but what happens is that way more people all around the world will not only see the artwork, read the article, watch the news bit, etc. no, they will also look up the person behind it and learn what kind of asshole they are.
In this case I had no idea who she is or even that gina rinehart existed, and I wouldn't have thought about researching her even if I ever saw that portrait of hers but because she tried to get it removed I now know that: she dragged her stepmother in court for "killing" her dad so she could get the money and valuables her dad gave her stepmother in his testament, she paid "witnesses" to testify aginst her stepmother, she tried to force her own children to accept a shady contract on extentending the runtime of the trust her dad left for her children for over 50 years, she wants tax cuts for the rich and lower the minimum wage bc that would lead to more jobs, she said people shouldn't be jealous of rich people and if they are "they should stop sitting around and complain and they should stop drinking, smoking, and socializing with people, they should stop that and work more", she withdrew her sponsorship of netball Australia bc one player asked to not wear the logo of her company.
I'm sure she did lots of other fucked up stuff I didn't read abt. I'm not sure if I wanna know how the workers in her companies get treated.
Yeah, she is a shitty rich person I didn't know of, but now I know she is a shitty person just because she made a fuss over a portrait lmao
Yeah I can practically read the “I inherited this wealth, what did you do with your life?” In this face.
I beg to differ. It's not cunty enough
Common mistake though, that isn't actually a disgusting roll of fat under her chin. In fact, it is a fleshy pouch where she stores taxpayer subsidies.
She looks like she rapes Mother Earth… o wait
Oh yeah I forgot Australia is still ruled by the Hut family. This is christina the hut.
Am amazed she wants it removed - it's actually complimentary.
LMAO now I need to google this
Her only expression is sneering.
Australia is interesting. The fact she wants to take it down makes is 1000% funnier, also made it newsworthy
He ain't lying!
If I were a billionaire my first priority would be getting and staying healthy.
She’s a monster. So yeah the artist really captured that. Great job.
Dear richest women of Australia,
greetings from Germany and thanks for complaining! Otherwise I would have never heard of you and that glorious painting.
I teach Visual Art and we study Albert Namatjira's work often. I'm gonna have to add Vincent's work to my unit plan methinks...
It’s his great-grandson.
Is she a Habsburg?
A direct descendant from a long squiggly line of direct descendants.
The artist really captured her inner beauty…
Barbara Streisand effect
I thought it was Sarah Huckabee Sanders
This is the 2nd time I saw this, on reddit. Otherwise, I'd not know this art existed.
Looks like Aughra.
Haha. In reality she's a skeksis. The greediest one.
This artist should paint ALL the top 10 wealthiest people in each country. Starting with the United States!
There is a photo in this article that looks like the inspiration for this:
Also worth reading this article to get a sense for what a piece of shit this person is.
She's already made herself unflattering.
Here's 12 reason people don't like her.
"Rinehart has courted controversy before with Indigenous Australians. In 2022, Hancock Prospecting withdrew A$15 million (about $10 million) in sponsorship funding from Netball Australia after the national team voiced its support for Donnell Wallam, an Indigenous netballer who had refused to wear a uniform with the mining company’s logo. Wallam cited concerns about racist comments Rinehart’s late father had made against Aboriginal Australians, including that those who hadn’t “assimilated” should be sterilized—which Rinehart has long remained silent over, even as she faced growing public calls to apologize.
Now, instead of shielding the unflattering depiction of herself from public view, Rinehart finds herself the victim of the so-called Streisand effect—the phenomenon whereby attempts to quash attention to something ironically only cause it to get amplified—as news of her dissatisfaction with the art exhibition has inspired international coverage, which has resurfaced her family’s unsavory history, as well as widespread memes and mockery on social media."
an uncomely likeness.
It's an absolutely perfect depiction of her...no wonder she wants it removed
The painter's perspective. Like all the indigenous, he was on his knees. Total respect for Albert's courage. Stand tall great man.
Vincent lol. Albert Namatjira was his great grandfather I believe. An easy but unfortunate mistake.
The painting's title is "Eat The Rich!"
Awesome. Not much we can do about rich people, but at least we have the freedom to depict them anyway we want. I hope.
Looks like Sarah Huckabee
Really got that whole Saturn Devouring His Son energy.
