William Sydney Mount and John Quidor illustrated nationalism in their artworks by depicting scenes of American life and history that celebrated the unique culture and identity of the United States. Mount's paintings often focused on everyday rural life, showcasing the beauty of American landscapes and the diversity of its people. Quidor, on the other hand, depicted historical events and legends that highlighted the heroic and patriotic aspects of American history, appealing to a sense of national pride and identity. Through their art, both artists helped to promote a sense of unity and pride among Americans during a time of growing nationalism in the 19th century.

Why did William dobell go to court for the portrait of Joshua smith?
In 1943 William Dobell's winning painting of Joshua Smith was challenged in court because of claims from other finalists (Mary Edwards and Joseph Wolinski) that it was a caricature not a portrait. The court battle was very public and everyone had an opinion on it, it made Dobell a household name and all the commotion made the Archibald prize in Sydney the most popular art competition in all of Australia. The court case was dismissed and Dobell became sick because of the controversy and debate so he left the attention of Sydney to live in Wangi Wangi in Lake Macquarie.

Does any body have any information on a watercolour artist called KR Heath?
I have a water colour by KR Heath, of a scene in the south of France, outside the town of St Paul. No date on it but I thought 1920/30s. There's also some information about a Mrs KR Heath who exhibited in Sydney, Australia. An advert suggests that she was based in London and describes her paintings of being "of many countries", which fits with my watercolour being of France. I'd be interested to know what painting(s) you have by her.
