Book Description
Douglas Stewart’s record of thirty years’ close friendship with Australia’s most controversial artist. Norman Lindsay and Douglas Stewart were friends for close to thirty years, enjoying a creative companionship that spanned from their first meeting in 1940s bohemian Sydney to Lindsay’s death in 1969. In this moving record of that friendship, Douglas Stewart remembers Norman Lindsay the man – his richly talented family and circle of friends, his quicksilver and vital personality and his exceptional gifts as painter, etcher and writer. But above all, this is an act of homage to a man whom Douglas Stewart saw as one of the greatest figures of Australian art and literature.
