Cosmo I would be interested to read about that if you were able to locate the information.

 

Thanks for the thread by the way - I have come to look forward to your Archibald threads.

 

Perhaps we can also look forward to one on the Salon Des Refusés?

 I've been looking but haven't found it yet, I am finding lots of other interesting stuff though.

I found this kind of mesmerising, all the winners morphed into each other

And I didn't know there was a Young Archies award as well, these are wonderful

Oh and my claim to fame is I went to art school with Archibald finalist (2007 & 2011) and winner of the 2009 Salon des Refusés People's Choice Award, Zhong Chen, we were in the same exhibiting group at the end of year. I remember he spoke very little english and was painting very large wonderful landscapes at the time and I was exhibting portraits 😄 the irony!
