Norman Lindsay

Norman Lindsay was an artist, a sculptor, a writer, an editorial cartoonist, a scale modeler and an accomplished amateur boxer. He was born in Creswick, Victoria. Lindsay is widely regarded as one of Australia's greatest artists, producing a vast body of work in different media, including pen drawing, etching, watercolour, oil and sculptures in concrete and bronze. As a writer, Lindsay is known for the much-loved children's classic The Magic Pudding published in 1918. Many of his adult novels have a frankness and vitality that matches his art and were banned due to censorship laws. Lindsay passed away in 1969 and is buried in Springwood Cemetery, New South Wales.
