Acclaimed Australian painter spotlights art of human rights
MELBOURNE -- Angus McDonald is a Sydney-based artist and filmmaker who has been painting professionally for over 30 years. This year, his portrait of Marcia Langton AO (Order of Australia), an Aboriginal writer and academic, marked the seventh time he featured as a finalist in Australia's most prestigious portrait competition, the Archibald Prize. But this year, McDonald was also the subject of another Archibald contender -- a portrait by his friend, the Kurdish Iranian artist Mostafa Azimitabar.
