Prize Brand / Lordy Dordie The Birds of Australia collectionWhen two artists enter the 1943 Archibald Prize, a scandal erupts that grips not only the art world, but the nation. A poignant love story with shattering consequences, inspired by real life events. 'Is that what you want to do? Peer into my soul and capture my flaws, for all to see?' As World War II draws to a close, Australian society is still deeply conservative. Homosexuality is illegal and the scourge of Modernism is infecting Australian art.
