1 of 1

“It is a gripping and, at times, sobering read, that reveals the complexities of the Lindsay phenomenon through an examination of how broader social and political currents favoured certain interpretations.”

Norman Lindsay was a prolific and provocative Australian artist, known for The Magic Pudding and his vivid prints inspired by Greek and Roman mythology. This collection of essays offers a fresh examination of Lindsay’s legacy, exploring his enduring influence on Australian art and culture. Featuring a cross-generational mix of art historians, critics, and artists, the book delves into Lindsay’s paradoxical life—his blend of artistic bohemianism and fascist leanings, libertinism and conservatism, and his deep imprint on both Australian intellectual life and the imaginations of generations of children.
