A beautiful copyFourteen of the plates appeared in the Norman Lindsay Watercolour Book, published in 1939, and the five added to this edition have been reproduced in Art in Australia and The Home. In addition to the plates Norman Lindsay has written an appreciation of the medium of watercolour, which he describes as 'the kindest of all mediums', and the distinguished writer, Godfrey Blunden, has written an extremely interesting essay on Lindsay's life called 'The Ninety Years of Norman Lindsay'. Here is an extract from his essay: 'A generation has arrived which happily seeks out Norman Lindsay, not perhaps for his aesthetic ideas or political views, not necessarily on account of his novels and stories, nor specifically because of his pen drawings, etchings and paintings, but because, in our drab and dangerous march to nowhere he is that rare, wonderfully reassuring and luminous event, a genius; perhaps the only authentic genius Australia has ever had.'
