I’m unaware of this painting, but I assume someone was trying to get it taken off the internet? Any context?

Gina Rinehart, wealthiest person in Australia. I forgot she existed until she tried to have the painting removed.

It's got some ads, but I found this article gives some additional context. This Vincent Namatjira bloke sounds pretty cool. I like the part about the exhibit's walls being painted in the colours of the aboriginal flag

Initially I thought the original painting was an album cover for slayer or cannibal corpse.
