Description
Norman Lindsay "Desert Island" Facsimile Etching by Norman Lindsay (1879-1969), artist, cartoonist, and writer. Norman came from a family that produced five artists, he left home at sixteen to live with his brother in Melbourne. In 1901 he moved to his permanent home in the Blue Mountains, working for the Bulletin in an association that lasted almost to his death. His first novel was published in 1913, and by the 1920s he was both proficient and prolific in pen and ink drawing, etching, woodcuts, watercolours and sculpture. Lindsay rejected Christianity, and his art depicts Bohemianism and Arcadian pantheism madly admixed in a fantasy world. As early as 1904 his work was labelled blasphemous and deemed obscene. Norman Lindsay "Desert Island" Facsimile Etching frankly renders of female nudity and many of his other etchings depict of cavorting bacchanalia which both scandalized and fascinated the conservative milieu and Australian bourgeoisie of his time. In 1930 his novel ‘Redheap’ was banned and the following year the police proceeded against an issue of Art and Australia that showcased his drawings. His enduring art, work and philosophical legacy remain popular with the art world, collectors and the general public alike. The original etching of Norman Lindsay "Desert Island" is extremely rare and unusual. The original is marked as an edition of 55 but it is thought that the plate failed at 36. The central alluring female figure is Polynesian and as well as a pirate, a reptilian humanoid and harpie are included.
