Joshua Smith

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joshua Smith is an Australian artist who won the Archibald Prize in 1944 with his portrait of Hon Sol Rosevear, MHR, Speaker of the Australian House of Representatives, but is more well known as being the subject of the previous years controversial Archibald Prize win, by artist William Dobell.

Although the portrait of him was very popular, with more than 154,000 visitors, a courtcase relating to the portrait in 1943 caused damage to his career, as well as that of Dobell's. At an interview in 1991 he called the portrait a "curse, a phantom that had torn at him every day of his life". The portrait of him by Dobell, had become more famous than his own work, which caused him considerable consternation.
