Description: Express Shipping Worldwide is Free Norman Lindsay WatercoloursBy Geoffrey BlundenPublished by Ure Smith, Sydney, 1973With the dustjacket- a very fine copy in brand new conditionWith 15 magnificent full-page one-sided colour plates by Norman Lindsay. All fifteen plates appeared in the Norman Lindsay Watercolour Book, published in 1939, fourteen of them also appeared in the 1969 edition. In addition to the plates, Norman Lindsay wrote an appreciation of the medium of watercolour, which he described 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'. The title of the watercolour on the jacket is The Blue Hat.
