Talk:John Brack

Comments moved from article

I would dispute two aspects of this description of Brack's style; First that Brack has presented the people on Collins St. as 'identical'. The faces in the foreground are all different, though Brack has included some characteristic Australian faces which he has used in other pictures of that period. Secondly, I would dispute Brack having satirical intent. Satire is defined in the OED as prose in which "prevailing vices or follies are held up to ridicule" and implies the intention to "ridicule a person or class of persons". Brack examines and comments and maybe questions aspects of urban life and rituals, but he does not ridicule. He comments on the Australian Dream in his series on urban landscapes, the bar, weddings, the racecourse, competitive ballroom dancing. When he paints a picture of a grumpy older couple, guest or parents, as part of the wedding series, which also includes a deliriously happy bride, it not a satire on weddings, it is life.

Italic title?

He was a human being, not an art work, and so the title should not be italicised. I'd fix it but I can't work out what's making it italic in the first place. Any ideas? -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 07:12, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
