I am curious why it is indicated that this page should list few if any actual pages, but that most should be in subcategories. "Australian artist" seems to me the best description for quite a few of the artists listed here, there being no existing (and no immediately obvious) subcategory to which they might be moved. Examples include Michael Eather (whom I have just added) and Patricia Piccinnini. Both work across a range of media and so are not meaningfully categorised as painters or sculptors. One could consider relocating links for Indigenous artists into the relevant subcategory, however this too could be controversial, as some would critique the distinction (eg are we suggesting Indigenous artists are not Australian artists?). I'm interested in the logic here. hamiltonstone 00:42, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
