On Gerald’s comment:
some of my favorite early Noel McKenna’s are a series of watercolours based on the back page of the Monday SMH, (sports pages) in the late 80′s, One in particular that resonates was Michael Beuttner (Norths) scoring a try against his old club (Parramatta) at North Sydney Oval. McKenna Credits the herald photographer in this series, however his skill is imbuing the emotion of being at the game, which the news photographer cannot do. The painters’ skill is the bits that are left out, and the bits that are overemphasised, leaving the viewer with the fuzzy look and feel of a memory, rather than the sharp focus of the photographic fact. More power to their brush!

Sorry Mr Warhol, I plead innocence. I didn’t know a painting of another image needed copyight clearance. I’ll take out half of 20th C art, let alone most of postmodernity. But we wouldn’t want to legalise ourselves out of aesthetic pleasure would we? (apologies for the building-site that is the blog at the moment, we’re still figuring out which goes where!)

Yeah bloody good. I saw half of those images in the age though. Where is his credit to the real artists, the original photographers?
