Description

Norman Lindsay "Pantera" 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 "Pantera" Facsimile Etching  is a frank rendition of female nudity and many of his other etchings depict 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. In 1920 Norman Lindsay sent Hugh McCrae the etching Desire. It so affected McCrae that he wrote a new version of the poem Pantera, (the one which was ultimately published in Idyllia), dedicated to Rose. McCrae wrote: I do not think I have told you the tremendous impression I received when I unwrapped Desire ... I sat at my desk with the feeling of a new aura mingling with my own. The sensation was so much a nervous one that my hands, my body and face became bathed in perspiration ... I was unable, as if pressed within an invisible frame, to draw a full breath; and when I reached for my pen and began to write the new Pantera I am certain it was with some volition other than my own. Pantera is the first Facsimile Etching to be done from Idyllia, the fifth book in our series, which includes five original etchings. There are seven de-luxe books in total which include original etchings. The original etching of Pantera was included in the book Idyllia by Hugh McCrae, published by the N.L. Press in 1922. Etched in 1920, it was one of five original etchings included in Idyllia. Pantera illustrates a poem of the same name which was dedicated to Rose Lindsay.
