Thanks Robert and Cfitzart. I see we have Australian artists as a category at the bottom of the page already, and now I've added a List of Australian Artists as a subsection.

I see that many of the artists in the list don't show up in the categories. So I'll go though the articles 0on the individual artists and make sure they're in the categories. This will take time :).

I find that there's an article titled List of Artists, ], which is a set of links to artists by nationality. There's no stand-alone national list for Australia. At this point I'd prefer to keep the list as part of this article. Later, when it's moer complete, it might hive off as an article in its own right. (I'd also like to be a bit moer skilled at editing before I post any articles - it would be nice, for example, to include some illustrations, something I'm not yet confident I can do).

I'm not entierly happy with dividing this list chronologically - reality isn't quite so neat, people don't stop and start their careers according to whether the year has two zeroes in it. So I might do the list by simple alphabetical order, but adding the artists' dates in brackets after each.

All comment welcome.

Oh - thanks to whoever turned my across-the-line lists into vertical columns - another skill I haven't yet learned :).

Photography

Added a link to Bill Henson - there's already an article about him so a link seems like a good idea. Maybe there should be a sub-section or even an article on Australian photogrpahers, but I don't think I'm the one to do it.PiCo 02:01, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

List of Australian artists

There are lists of American and other artists and writers, so how about a List of Ausrtalian Artists? It would include the present list of contemporary artists. I've made a start and will come back to add more artists from time to time, using existing links. This is just a proposal, what do others think? PiCo 02:16, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Sounds like a good idea, what would you call the article? Theres alot of artists listed at Archibald Prize, many havent got their own articles yet. Cfitzart 06:44, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
Don't we already have categories for this purpose? --Robert Merkel 13:33, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
Do we? Show me where to find them and what I should do about them. Anyway, I've added a section titled List of Australian Artists, which will bring together all the existing Aust artists and provide stubs for further contribs. PiCo 13:41, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
