Australia, 1879 to 1969

In short

Norman Alfred Williams Lindsay (22 February 1879 to 21 November 1969) was an Australian artist, cartoonist, sculptor, polemicist, novelist, and amateur boxer. One of the most prolific and popular Australian artists of his generation, Lindsay attracted both acclaim and controversy for his works, many of which infused the Australian landscape with erotic pagan elements and were deemed by his critics to be "anti-Christian, anti-social and degenerate". A vocal nationalist, he drew a weekly cartoon for The Bulletin from 1900 to 1958.
