Crete
You have to go a long way to find an artist more bold, in content and concept, than Norman Lindsay. Inspired by reading a book on Crete, Lindsay created this painting in 1940, oddly enough titled Crete, using friends and family as models.

OK... somebody's gotta say it: I'd love to have met his family!
Wow, I love it. The women look idealistic but still sexy and curvy.
I would have loved to have met Lindsay himself. The man was so bold and iconoclastic. He might probably have been difficult to live with or be friends with, but he would likely have been entertaining to be around.
Really nice Thom - thanks. The drawings complete the post beautifully.
you can still visit his house/studio up in the Blue Mountains. it's a couple of hours outta Sydney and I'm told it's well worth it;)
