Surely there’s a billboard near her home that they can put that on?
I would have never seen this picture if she hadn’t done this.
The Streisand effect.
Stay humble, bitch.
Even if you want to be mad at her for being rich and being part of the oligopoly that is creating suffering and impending environmental doom, can you blame her for requesting the portrait be taken down? It’s really unflattering and doesn’t look that much like her. She didn’t demand it, she asked. No one likes being humiliated, and that portrait probably made her feel terrible. There’s nothing wrong with making a request, most people in her position would do the same.
She should create a foundation to called “The Institute for Reduced World Suffering” and make the charter bylaws include her picture on anything sent out, any website, any marketing material, and her photo must be on any material generated by the organization, and it can only be 1 type of picture that she chooses, then she should have an artist do a really flattering picture of her that makes her look nice. In the Institute’s first year, she should offer 10 10,000 grants to those who study reduced world suffering and in announcing the grants opportunity she could include her picture in the advertisements. She could let anyone apply and she chooses the winners. She could turn a strange situation into something wonderful if she wants.
Okay, I don’t mean to be rude, but fucking what
if only i had written “stay humble, bitch” the people of lemmy would like me 😭
This is the image.

Maybe she could buy the painting? I’m sure the artist would be willing to part with it for a donation of a few billion to charitable causes.
It belongs to the national gallery and therefor cannot be sold.
Gallery art’s such a joke man. Gives artists a bad name.
To be fair, check out the other paintings. This is a pretty good exhibit!
Yeah I seen em. It’s all awful. Looks like he’s got a famous great grandfather and he’s cashing in on the name.
if she weren’t rich, i’d feel bad for her. her status and authority, unfortunately, make her an acceptable target for nonviolent criticism, such as really ugly portraits.
her status and authority, unfortunately, make her an acceptable target
Agreed, but It’s really more that she’s a complete arsehole. As a nimby mining magnate, she is a sponsor of organised climate denialism and vocal about it herself, a race she clearly has a horse in. She’s also an active libertarian who wants to further dismantle the welfare system, and reduce taxation, and wants Australian workers to be cool like Africans and work for $2 a day. And a vocal Trump supporter.
It’s not the painting that makes her ugly, it’s her behaviour and ideology.
Yeah no famous artist has ever felt the need to pain me ugly. Hell the most artistic depiction of me is a charcoal drawing by a guy who didn’t know we’d gone out for hookah a few times a few years prior. But regardless artists are only depicting her poorly because of how poorly she behaves.
I think it’s a pretty accurate drawing, seems like art to me.
Agreed, though it’s A.I. generated.
Wrong, the artist is an Australian aboriginal named Vincent Namatjira, the great grandson of Arrente watercolour artist Albert Namatjira.
Right, A.I. Aboriginal Illustrator.
Are you having a seizure?
Australian Imagineer?
Thats better
Another case of the Streisand effect
Its really wierd to me that Streisand effect became the accepted name for this.
For example the 1st child’s play is saw In the UK was 3. Purely because it was banned
Attempt at clarification edit
I had no interest in yhe child’s plat movie franchises until the 3rd movie because it was banned
The first child’s play movie wasn’t saw, the UK definitely wasn’t 3 when you had seen it, and saw was never banned in the UK although Grotesque and several Chainsaw Massacre films were. /s
I haven’t seen a single saw. Just not interested.
Childs play 3 was absolutely banned in the UK I’d rather not link the reasons why its pretty grotesque though
That said I just learned the ban was lifted in 2002
I was making fun of your spelling errors and grammatical mistakes. I never even said Child’s Play 3 wasn’t banned lmao.
I dunno what it is the last wee while I can’t type on my phone keyboard. Pretty suew my brain is melting
Ah, the last wee. A bittersweet moment.
Not sure I follow wee is a legitimate word where I’m from
Cristiano Ronaldo
People hated how poorly the bust was made to the point that it was removed in a couple of weeks and replaced with a bust by an anonymous sculptor.
The weird thing is, it’s not terrible, except the eyes are way too close together. How do you make that mistake?
The sculptor was a very good sculptor, but this bust was terrible.
no sense of humour, so sad.
She’d have done better claiming, “It doesn’t even look like me‽ Kind of a shit artist imo, if we’re all just being honest.”
Apparently, there’s no going back from the Streisand effect. And now, here we all are, looking at her actual gremlin face… understanding that the painting is somehow true. She should have let it go
Best of luck. Get back under your bridge! Shoo!
