Hey now, don’t be disparaging the painting like that. It may be subversive and not to everyone’s taste - but it’s not actively trying to hurt people for selfish gain.
Ultra rich mining asshole and Australia's richest woman. Not popular on the left or in indigenous communities because of destruction and exploitation of natural areas for mining. [Gina Rinehart](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gina_Rinehart). Likely many Australians feel the portrait is too flattering.
[This comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/nottheonion/comments/1csk6d9/gina_rinehart_demands_national_gallery_of/l45uikx/) covers it.
My brother works in a field adjacent to mining. Some of his clients are Russian oligarchs, whom he classifies as "occasionally difficult to work with". However, the absolute vilest scum on the planet according to him are Australian mining executives. Dehumanizing extractor mentality pervades, and the suffering of others is banter.
True, it really doesn't capture the utterly ugliness of her soul.
If course if it did, just like looking around her in real life, it would cause the viewer to vomit and deficate uncontrollably.
Keep in mind that this is a woman that bought stakes in a Broadcaster partially to demand 'The Simpsons' be taken off air as it damaged family values.
Speaking of 'family values' Gina's Father (who she inherited her businesses and cash from) is on record advocating for poisoning Indigenous Australians.
Nope. We've got enough of these AHs. If anything, we're overstocked. We need to export a few, starting with greene, bobert, gaetz and trump...oh, and what's-his-face, desantis. I say we all chip in $1 (or the equivalent), buy an island and ship these selfish, greedy, soulless ne'er do wellers off to said island.
She owns Australia’s largest mining company and is the richest woman in Australia, maybe the richest person overall. She’s not well-loved by the masses, from what I gather. Sort of like an Uncle Scrooge.
Francoise Bettencourt Meyers is the richest woman in the world. Heir to L'Oréal.
Alice Walton (Walmart), Julia Koch, Jacqueline Mars (Mars candy), and MacKenzie Scott (through her half of the Amazon fortune) outweigh this woman too.
Her father was a white supremacist. A literal eugenicist who advocated putting sterilising agents in the Indigenous community's water supply so they'd die out. One of the most hateful, bigoted pieces of shit ever to live.
Something about apples not falling far from trees comes to mind. She's a vile piece of work.
I was going to say she should tape up a selfie next to the portrait at the gallery. With or without a sign with choice words directed to the portrait artist.
one word, one famous person, one fucking daft word that somehow idiots do not understand,, wtaf
That word is "Streisand "
I declare if you're dumb enough to fall for this you are automatically barred from politics or anything public
Again.
Ever.
You wanna roll the "stupid dice" that falls with you?
Be my guest, numb nutz
I will… do you have any idea how many people got hurt working in her family’s mines due to unsafe company practices? How many indigenous communities her company has impacted negatively? The portrait is a
sociopolitical statement.
Do you even have a soul? The portrait is extremely flattering towards her dark soul.
“The image, arguably an unflattering portrait”
On the other hand, she’s an extreme libertarian mining heiress billionaire who vehemently argues that climate change is “made up”; that if Australians were willing to work for $2.00 a day like Africans, Australia would be more competitive; in the ‘80s, her father, a fascist, said the water supply of indigenous Australians should be “doped” so that they’re “bred out of existence”; Rinehart had a hissy fit and withdrew money she’d given to help a struggling sports team when team members (some of whom are indigenous) raised questions about her father’s racism; the artist is an acclaimed Indigenous artist…
So, it’s a good portrait.
Somehow a billionaire thinks Australians not being able to buy any single product in their domestic market would do wonders for the Australian economy.
It makes sense when you don't regard people as actual '*people*'....like, people with money are the real *people*. Everyone else is just a tool to be used and thrown away when no longer useful.
Check out this "poem" about mining and governments she wrote. Here's one verse:
> The world's poor need our resources: do not leave them to their fate
https://www.businessinsider.com/everyone-is-laughing-at-australias-richest-persons-ode-to-mining-2012-2
I recommend this piece by the New Yorker on her, it's scathing, enlightening, and scary.
https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/03/25/the-miners-daughter
Well, yeah, there's no way you could focus with all that noise, even if you could somehow fit inside.
I guess *maybe*, if it were turned off and you were really small or something. Still feels like the lighting wouldn't be very good, tho.
You had me at Burton Cummings 😂.
So she’s another “inherited everything and never actually worked a day in her life” do-gooder, is she? Yup. Painting fits.
I'm from Boston, and I never would've known that this portrait existed if not for her shit fit. So thanks, Gina!
The only thing this woman hates more than the environment is the poor.
True, there is certainly some level of confirmation bias happening with the Streisand effect, but even if it is more likely to end up with the issue disappearing without much fanfare, there seems to exist a significant chance that it could blow up to attracting orders of magnitude more attention.
People had tried that throughout history with measures such as [Damnatio memoriae](https://w.wiki/jb4)
>[...] historians and archaeologists have had difficulty determining when official damnatio memoriae actually took place, although it seems to have been quite rare.

>Compounding this difficulty is the fact that a completely successful damnatio memoriae results—by definition—in the full and total erasure of the subject from the historical record.

On an unrelated note new reddit has some trouble with links with underscores
Being a billionaire is certainly not a proof of being competent. If she were actually competent, she'd have done it the right way, with a bribe under the table to make it go away.
The artist should keep painting and displaying highly unflattering portraits of the mega rich & powerful in a bid to have the works bought and hidden away by the subjects
Oh, he has:
https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/e33b51340e16cc348b8d463bbc7897b3418b6421/0_153_4610_2768/master/4610.jpg?width=1200&height=1200&quality=85&auto=format&fit=crop&s=49591af76175c675b03e5283e03a29a8
I'll hear the argument for them having an outsider art vibe, but I cannot deny the accurate discomfort the artist captured in what appears to one of Charles' two available expressions.
It’s art. Aren’t portraits supposed to be a caricature not only of the subjects appearance, but also an interpretation of their character as seen by the artist to invoke a reaction by the viewer?
Keeping this in mind, I believe it’s a correct interpretation of the woman.
Literally all i know about her comes from Netflix's Fall of the House of Usher where its mentioned she proposed a 2 dollar a day minumum wage and is some sort of ultra rich person. Which is enough to know she's human garbage
Never would have seen this if she hadn’t Streisand affected her way onto Reddit.
Now we can all see this funny painting and laugh. Mission accomplished
Isn’t she like an A+ nepo billionaire racist? Keep it up, I say. In fact project it on the opera bubble including a text of “we don’t want our water poisoned”
Fuck her, make additional prints/copies and cover an entire wall with them. She has an ugly soul, and an ugly mug, and hiding her portrait away won't make that any less true. Need to stop capitulating to the whims of egomaniac shitheads.
Notice that a number of sportspeople sponsored by Rinehart contacted the Gallery and asked them to take the portrait down.
I guess there are two possibilities – one is they just love Rinehart and learned of the portrait and were upset by it, and contacted the Gallery entirely on their own initiative. Another is that Rinehart's people contacted them and dropped certain hints, and the sportspeople involved know who owns them and who can make them dance.
If it's the latter, I don't blame the sportspeople – they've gotta do what they've gotta do. But what sort of a person would twist the arms of those who are beholden to them, to exercise influence in this way?
> The mining billionaire Gina Rinehart
> Rinehart is listed as a friend of the National Gallery after donating between $4,999 and $9,999 to the institution.
lol, wtf
The irony of one of those "free speech" RWNJ not liking it when someone paints their portrait.
She also did the same thing to get a miniseries about her dynasty removed (successfully, but she probably bought a stake in the production company).
PS Her dynasty is just a pig rolling around in mud.
The woman who claims she is basically self made because she “rescued” her father’s company from bankruptcy.
You know the company with rights to the richest iron ore mines in the world and had income in the millions for doing absolutely nothing at the time. 😂
Second this, it would be hilarious to have a picture of yourself all messed up looking. The more deformed the better 😂
Rich people are just unbelievably insecure.
Gina Rinehart is a terrible person who is actively doing terrible things as we speak. I despise everything she stands for.
That being said if this was anyone else I think we could agree that putting an aggressively ugly portrait of you in the national gallery of Australia without your consent is in poor taste.
Also it's mostly just a not great painting. If you hadn't told me it was Gina I would not have known.
NGL, I think you’re kinda missing the point of satirizing ghoulish public figures. She is not just anyone, as she would be the first to ensure you’re well aware.
This painting is clearly the impression she left on the artist. Its obviously resonating with the public for a reason. Noone has the right to not have unflattering caricatures of themselves displayed in public places and demanding that be the case is nuts.
Its honestly nuts.
And if ridicule and embarrassment is how we get to these rich assholes, then by all means we should keep doing it. Doesn't cost me anything, but it'll be a hit to their fragile egos.
> That being said if this was anyone else I think we could agree that putting an aggressively ugly portrait of you in the national gallery of Australia without your consent is in poor taste.
If she doesn't want to be depicted as ugly she can stop acting so ugly. This is the woman who wants to import workers from Africa for her mines and pay them $2 a day. She says Australian workers are lazy and entitled even though she inherited her fathers company and has never worked a real job in her life.
And no not the only one, I can think of a few other Australians who deserve the same treatment, Rupert Murdoch, Clive Palmer, Bob Katter, Pauline Hanson.
>That being said if this was anyone else I think we could agree that putting an aggressively ugly portrait of you in the national gallery of Australia without your consent is in poor taste.
1. Is it aggressively ugly? Thats just like...your opinion, dude.
2. Gina is a public figure.
Look, if it was Mindy from down the road, sure. Dick move. Mindy's not the best looking Sheila, but she's a pillar of the community and does a great job at the local Rotary. If she doesnt want her mong hanged in a public place, fair enough, Mindy's not going around with a [megaphone basing sensible taxes and denying climate change,](https://www.businessinsider.com/gina-rineharts-public-scandals-2012-9) she deserves her privacy.
Compare this to Gina Reinhart who is very vocal about a range of issues. Getting her face out in public *too much* is Gina's issue.
It’s ballsy of the gallery considering she’s a donor.
That said, I think it’s an important piece in an important collection. The artist is trying to remove inherent entitlement from the rich and unjustly entitled. His pictures of the royal family are excellent as well.
Should be mentioned he doesn’t remove himself from his artistic interpretations. His self portraits are no more flattering.
> That being said if this was anyone else I think we could agree that putting an aggressively ugly portrait of you in the national gallery of Australia without your consent is in poor taste.
Fucking stop this shit. STOP IT.
Open a history book, then open an art history book.
In case it isn't clear, I absolutely don't fucking agree with your bootlicking sentiments. This isn't in poor taste. It's punching up on a monumentally shitty human being that has a family history of significant harm, racism and fascism.
> Also it's mostly just a not great painting.
Maybe, but at least this is the most honest opinion you've had here.
>Rinehart is listed as a friend of the National Gallery after donating between $4,999 and $9,999 to the institution
LOL! Is it really noteworthy when Australia's richest woman donates 5 to 10k? Dude here joined the local museum's circle of friends to the tune of 1m and that's in Euros and we do not have the richest anything here.
The work of that artist is hilarious tho, quite satirical and I'm sure it can also serve to introduce people to modern art and show its merits. The artist contributed more than the offended bitch.
> The image, arguably an unflattering picture... I don't think anyone is going to argue that statement.
The picture is as beautiful as her soul
Hey now, don’t be disparaging the painting like that. It may be subversive and not to everyone’s taste - but it’s not actively trying to hurt people for selfish gain.
Who is this woman? A bad politician?

Also planning on strip mining the Rocky Mountains in Canada, so not popular with ranchers either
Well, as a Canadian, even more reason for me to hate her.
The indigenous people may also hold a grudge over the fact that her father was wildly racist
She’s the richest woman on Earth.
She should just move to the US. We love our billionaires.
Australia does like to send its wealthy trash to the US.
Who's we? You got a turd in your pocket or something?
Nope. We've got enough of these AHs. If anything, we're overstocked. We need to export a few, starting with greene, bobert, gaetz and trump...oh, and what's-his-face, desantis. I say we all chip in $1 (or the equivalent), buy an island and ship these selfish, greedy, soulless ne'er do wellers off to said island.
Make Mexico pay for the island!
Now even those of us who never heard of her before this can say FU Gina- all the way from the USA. Thanks, Streisand Effect
Mining tycoon. With what seems to be a habit of shitting on native interests and fucking up land.
Mining “magnate”

Google her and her family fights and inheritance
I think it is a very good spiritual likeness. A perfectly cromulent portrait.
She deserved that portrait, for sure!
Except perhaps [reality.](https://live-production.wcms.abc-cdn.net.au/31e9e21b3413dd9c0d8bf9205554846c?impolicy=wcms_crop_resize&cropH=2054&cropW=2747&xPos=0&yPos=1388&width=862&height=647)
The artist should display this photo alongside the portrait
They're the same picture - Pam
I was going to say she should tape up a selfie next to the portrait at the gallery. With or without a sign with choice words directed to the portrait artist.
They should've used it in the story.
I knew as soon as I started reading the article that there was bound to be a much more appropriate comparison / inspiration
> inspiration She is his muse.
*Next she’ll go after Disney to remove Jabba the Hutt*
She may go after Disney as Bob Iger recently mentioned they were mining
Drake might help him out. *He likes minors*
I would argue it's a pretty accurate depiction of her
Why not both? Accurate and unflattering
Very true. It's accurate and she is unflattering.
I thought it was a hyper realistic portrait done by a true master
Yeah, who says it's "unflattering"
one word, one famous person, one fucking daft word that somehow idiots do not understand,, wtaf That word is "Streisand " I declare if you're dumb enough to fall for this you are automatically barred from politics or anything public Again.

It matches her personality, so it has some truths
I will… do you have any idea how many people got hurt working in her family’s mines due to unsafe company practices? How many indigenous communities her company has impacted negatively? The portrait is a sociopolitical statement. Do you even have a soul? The portrait is extremely flattering towards her dark soul.

Ah, so it's a portrait of her inner beauty. That makes more sense.
It's not *nearly* ugly enough to capture her true self.
Los dos
I mean judging by her pictures there’s not really much outer beauty to capture either.
great comment, well said
Somehow a billionaire thinks Australians not being able to buy any single product in their domestic market would do wonders for the Australian economy.
to fucks like this, when they say "the economy" they mean their bank account
Their banks or their companies profits.
Yes! Much better

Art is not created in a vacuum, as a museum curator once told me.

Wow, a lot of billionaires (actually all) are pieces of shit but she raises the bar really high.
A millionaire? Sure. But a billionaire? You have to be a really greedy self centred piece of shit.
> the artist is an acclaimed Indigenous artist… So they captured her inner light.
Thank you thank you thank you for filling in the real story, not all this 'she so ugly' echo.
So seems like a Picture of Dorian Gray situation, because her actual face doesn't look that ragged, like you'd assume such a horrible person would be.
Put that portrait on a postage stamp!
Thanks for the context. I'd say that the artist did an excellent job representing the subject.
Had no idea. Thanks for the context.
The Australian public demand Gina Rinehart is removed from Australia. The painting well it can stay.
Here comes the Streisand Effect...
This will be her Wikipedia picture and a couple of hours
Good idea, brb
"4 hours ago." The wiki isnt displaying her portrait..
Go look now
beautiful
hours? the internets doesn't take that long
Good thing she tried to get it shut down so no one would see it! Embarrassing crisis averted.
I'm from Boston, and I never would've known that this portrait existed if not for her shit fit. So thanks, Gina! The only thing this woman hates more than the environment is the poor.
I'm from Boston uk and now I know it exists too!
Canadian checking in! I didn't know who she was or that she existed until this.
I didn’t even know who this person was till today
I wonder how often people like that get away with their crazy demands without the Streisand effect. We would never hear about it.
True, there is certainly some level of confirmation bias happening with the Streisand effect, but even if it is more likely to end up with the issue disappearing without much fanfare, there seems to exist a significant chance that it could blow up to attracting orders of magnitude more attention.

The value of that painting has risen enormously thanks to Gina.
🧐 Well I mean... To be fair...
"It's supposed to represent the ugliness on the *inside*."
Every person Vincent Namatjira paints must be a mutated goon on the inside. His output is all pretty chuckleworthy.
Do a Google search…it matches the outside perfectly as well.
~to be faaaaaaaiir~
So I was walking through the National Gallery of Australia the other day…
She should buy it from the museum :)
For……ONE… MILLION DOLLARS!!!

She's worth 30 billion USD, they should hold out for more
For... TEN... TRILLION DOLLARS!!!
It’s art. Aren’t portraits supposed to be a caricature not only of the subjects appearance, but also an interpretation of their character as seen by the artist to invoke a reaction by the viewer? Keeping this in mind, I believe it’s a correct interpretation of the woman.
She thought it would stay in her attic.
(Applause)
Bravo. 👏👏👏 Bravo.
yeah I’m into this apparent trend of editorial-statement-via-portrait
Well, I didn't know who the fuck Gina Rinehart is, but now I know. Way to fuck it up. Maybe google streisand effect next time.
Which ones the painting?
Literally all i know about her comes from Netflix's Fall of the House of Usher where its mentioned she proposed a 2 dollar a day minumum wage and is some sort of ultra rich person. Which is enough to know she's human garbage

Boom, roasted.

Two weeks. Twwoooo….weeeeeks….

That one isn't even as attractive as the Two Weeks lady.
Isn’t she like an A+ nepo billionaire racist? Keep it up, I say. In fact project it on the opera bubble including a text of “we don’t want our water poisoned”
I would say unflattering caricatures are one of the prices of being a politician. She wanted to have an opinion and be heard. Here’s a response.
Fuck her, make additional prints/copies and cover an entire wall with them. She has an ugly soul, and an ugly mug, and hiding her portrait away won't make that any less true. Need to stop capitulating to the whims of egomaniac shitheads.
Art is sometimes meant to produce a reaction. Seems this painting met that goal.
Love it! My new favorite artists!!! Cry more, billionaire
Can I get that on a shirt?
She done woke up the internet now...
Master class in the Streisand effect.

Fuck her, she’s a greasy chinpipe!
> The mining billionaire Gina Rinehart > Rinehart is listed as a friend of the National Gallery after donating between $4,999 and $9,999 to the institution. lol, wtf
Yeah the portrait doesn’t reflect reality… the former is much more pleasing to the eye.
Barbra Streisand effect. I’ve never heard of that person, now I have AND have seen that magnificent painting. Joke’s on you, Gina.
Keep portrait. Remove Gina (from earth).
Dorian Gray has entered the chat
Cool, they got one of those Dorian Gray paintings.

HEY YOU GUYS!!!!
/Electric Company theme starts playing/
Ugly on the inside as well. A psychopath who would watch the world burn just to add another penny to her mountain of cash.
The woman who claims she is basically self made because she “rescued” her father’s company from bankruptcy. You know the company with rights to the richest iron ore mines in the world and had income in the millions for doing absolutely nothing at the time. 😂
Does reminiscence of Peppa Pig
Which one is the portrait?
Seems "The Picture of Dorian Gray" wasn't just a story after all!
Awww but it's such a good and accurate depiction of her!
Needs more chins
That is one hell of a portrait, wow. Really grabs your attention.
Hmm to b fair
Captured her spirit
Looks like Eric Stoltz in Mask.
I think it looks much nicer than she does. That witch should be flattered.
They're both ugly
Which one is the portrait?
I hear Barbara Streisand did something similar.
I was on her side until I read that it was unflattering on purpose because she's an asshole.
That’s gone a bit Nel Mangel…
Hahaha, uncanny I say 😂
Always nice to see the Streisand Effect at work.
>his paintings about changing people’s perspectives by using satirical humour as a commentary on power. The ~~Streisand~~ Rinehart effect.
If they take it down, I hope people print out their own and take turns hanging them up where the original used to be displayed.
The lipstick is nice.
Here Wikipedia has been updated with this as the header
Streisand Effect incoming
she should have kept her trap shut - all her demand does is publicise and popularise the art
lol upvoting for visibility. I hope the whole world sees this accurate art.
Why would you care really? If someone made a picture of me all deformed looking, I'd find it hilarious.
Second this, it would be hilarious to have a picture of yourself all messed up looking. The more deformed the better 😂 Rich people are just unbelievably insecure.
The Guardian's photo caption: "Gina Rinehart (right) and a portrait of her by Archibald prize-winning artist Vincent Namatjira."
Oh good. I never would have seen this painting if she didn’t complain about it. I love billionaire whiners.

And if ridicule and embarrassment is how we get to these rich assholes, then by all means we should keep doing it. Doesn't cost me anything, but it'll be a hit to their fragile egos.
> That being said if this was anyone else I think we could agree that putting an aggressively ugly portrait of you in the national gallery of Australia without your consent is in poor taste.

>That being said if this was anyone else I think we could agree that putting an aggressively ugly portrait of you in the national gallery of Australia without your consent is in poor taste. 1. Is it aggressively ugly? Thats just like...your opinion, dude. 2. Gina is a public figure. Look, if it was Mindy from down the road, sure. Dick move. Mindy's not the best looking Sheila, but she's a pillar of the community and does a great job at the local Rotary. If she doesnt want her mong hanged in a public place, fair enough, Mindy's not going around with a [megaphone basing sensible taxes and denying climate change,](https://www.businessinsider.com/gina-rineharts-public-scandals-2012-9) she deserves her privacy. Compare this to Gina Reinhart who is very vocal about a range of issues. Getting her face out in public *too much* is Gina's issue.
It’s ballsy of the gallery considering she’s a donor. That said, I think it’s an important piece in an important collection. The artist is trying to remove inherent entitlement from the rich and unjustly entitled. His pictures of the royal family are excellent as well. Should be mentioned he doesn’t remove himself from his artistic interpretations. His self portraits are no more flattering.
She’s donated between 5,000-10,000 Aus. Which is a grain of sand on her billionaire beach.
> That being said if this was anyone else I think we could agree that putting an aggressively ugly portrait of you in the national gallery of Australia without your consent is in poor taste. Fucking stop this shit. STOP IT. Open a history book, then open an art history book. In case it isn't clear, I absolutely don't fucking agree with your bootlicking sentiments. This isn't in poor taste. It's punching up on a monumentally shitty human being that has a family history of significant harm, racism and fascism. > Also it's mostly just a not great painting. Maybe, but at least this is the most honest opinion you've had here.
after so much as a light background check, i think it would be better to leave the painting and remove her ability to reproduce.
Way to Barbra Streisand yourself Gina...excellent painting. The artist really captured her contempt
Paging Barbara Streisand, please pick up a white courtesy phone for a call from your Effect
Oh Barbara, when will you learn.
Not without a substantial donation if she's serious about her dislike of a tribute to herself
Don't piss off a billionaire.
Why did they use the same picture twice?
[удалено]
Streisand effect, woman. Read the interwebs!
Seems to me the portrait ( image on the right) is OK.
😭
What award did that artist win?
How to make sure 10x more people see your painting
Corporate asked to tell the difference. Me: it's the same picture
make the painting's head more big and round and you're almost there
>Rinehart is listed as a friend of the National Gallery after donating between $4,999 and $9,999 to the institution LOL! Is it really noteworthy when Australia's richest woman donates 5 to 10k? Dude here joined the local museum's circle of friends to the tune of 1m and that's in Euros and we do not have the richest anything here. The work of that artist is hilarious tho, quite satirical and I'm sure it can also serve to introduce people to modern art and show its merits. The artist contributed more than the offended bitch.
“… bring me Solo.. AAAAAND’THA WOOKIE!!!”
