A portrait of Australian singer-songwriter Robert Forster has been awarded the 2019 Doug Moran National Portrait Prize. It was selected from 30 finalists for the prestigious award, and was painted by a New South Wales-based artist who refers to himself only as What. His portrait of the co-founder of Australian band The Go-Betweens has been praised by one of the award’s judges, Kelly Gellatly.

The Art Gallery of New South Wales has awarded the Archibald Prize for 2017 to Mitch Cairns for his portrait of partner Agatha Gothe-Snape. The Gallery’s decision was condemned by previous winner John Olsen as being the worst in the award’s history. However, five other previous Archibald winners, including Sam Leach – who won in 2010 for his portrait of Tim Minchin – have supported Cairns.
