Description: Express Shipping Worldwide is Free My MaskBy Norman LindsayPublished by Angus and Robertson, Sydney, 1970First Edition, with the dustjacket With 53 plates - there are 29 pages of plates.An autobiography by Norman Lindsay. When he was writing it - in 1957; twelve years before his death in 1969 at the age of ninety - Norman Lindsay made a vow, he says, to keep art, metaphysics and politics right out of the book and to confine himself simply to the entertainment he had got out of the spectacle of life; and on the whole what is just what he has done. This unpretentious, down-to-earth, high-spirited and often amusing book, covers Lindsay's childhood in Creswick, Victoria; his hilarious student days in Melbourne; his early love affairs; his Sydney days with the giants of the old Bulletin; London; New York; and back to the beautiful home he and Rose Lindsay made for themselves in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales. My Mask is copiously illustrated with photographs which not only illuminate Norman Lindsay's long and varied life but also depict many aspects of his art and craftmanship, including oil paintings (and the model who posed for the best of them), shop models and his garden statuary at Springwood.There is some shine/reflection in my photographs due to the glossy nature of the pages the book's photographs have been produced on. In blue cloth hardcover, with the dustjacket, in 245 pages with titles and an image of a lion/girl in gilt to the spine.
