Archibald, Wynne & Sulman Prizes

Archibald, Wynne & Sulman Prizes (2.5/5)
Art Gallery of NSW
2nd May 2009


The Archibald's are dominated by two portrait styles: highly accomplished detailed studies but with no feeling and palette knife oils laid thick and sometimes with passion, not a great year. By contrast the landscapes and genre paintings of the Wynne and Sulman offer a challenging and often a rewarding mix of styles from traditional to abstract, a good year.
