Ah Norman Lindsay! I have a copy of his Bohemians at the Bulletin, with portraits in words and pen drawings of the various literary characters he met whilst working there. Wonderful book. What a talent

Davoh said...

yup, sort of refers back to some previous posts, also.

Now your talking!

A picture's worth a thousand pervs.

afterthought. Norman Lindsay's output was, actually, prodigious. If anyone else has tried to (a)draw something like these then (b) sit for an incredible number of hours scribing them backwards onto an etching plate .. not counting his writings, cartoons for the bulletin, the oils, the sculptures ..then wowsers can criticise.

Davoh said...

oh, hello Robert .. was writing the comment at the same time as you .. heh.

That woman in the top one forgot to shave one of her armpits.

Kathy Trejo said...

:-D I'll have to check out her art work

Davoh said...

and the little bloke has hairy legs, brian .. so?

Vincent said...

"Her" art work, Kathy? (Great to see you back, sorry to greet your return to blogland with sarcastic nitpicking, but I haven't changed mucyh in your absence. Please please please start another blog!)

Vincent said...

Refers back t some previous posts, Davo? Can you expand on that?

As for the unshaved armpit, it wouldn't surprise me. the man has a delightfully Australian individuality. Having read his Bohemians at the Bulletin so many times, remarking that his prose style was as admirable as his drawing line, I nevertheless failed to follow him up as it were, and see what other things he had done, till now.

And I'm against women shaving in all such nooks and crannies.
