Australia’s richest woman seeks removal of her portrait from exhibition
Art is subjective. And while many artists long to share their work with the world, there’s no guarantee that the audience will understand it, or even like it.

if she weren't rich, i'd feel bad for her. her status and authority, unfortunately, make her an acceptable target for nonviolent criticism, such as really ugly portraits.

Agreed, but It's really more that she's a complete arsehole. As a nimby mining magnate, she is a sponsor of organised climate denialism and vocal about it herself, a race she clearly has a horse in. She's also an active libertarian who wants to further dismantle the welfare system, and reduce taxation, and wants Australian workers to be cool like Africans and work for $2 a day. And a vocal Trump supporter.
It's not the painting that makes her ugly, it's her behaviour and ideology.
it's her behavior and ideology that makes the painting accurate :3
It's crazy to me how
most if notall billionares cheerish exploiting poor wages and keeping poor people poorer while hoarding unimaginable wealth that's enough for lifetime for generations of their family. That's because billionares are mentally sick.Yeah no famous artist has ever felt the need to pain me ugly. Hell the most artistic depiction of me is a charcoal drawing by a guy who didn’t know we’d gone out for hookah a few times a few years prior. But regardless artists are only depicting her poorly because of how poorly she behaves.
It's not uglier than the other portraits in the set. Its really weird that she would object when she is sharing a wall with royalty.
Regardless of her money, she's an ugly individual. And I don't mean physically
Yeah, I was going to say I'm not Australian, so I'm not super familiar with her, but from what I do know of her, this portrait seems fitting.
Punching up (nonviolently, as you say) is always valid.
