portraits

Have these Archibald Prize painters brought anything more than skill and energy to their portraits? Do they capture a likeness of their sitter?...or should we turn to photography for more revelation and insight? Some splendid work in this year’s Photographic Portrait Prize suggests it is a more vigorous contemporary medium. Bette Mifsud’s “Anzac Day Morning, 2005” disarmingly captures her unsure elderly sitters holding hands by their front door.
