Five
of the ten talented Lindsay children born in Creswick, Victoria became
artists. This book provides the opportunity to see side by side the work
of Percy, Lionel, Norman, Ruby and Daryl in context; to evaluate their
shared influences, appreciate their individual flair and to sense the
combined energy with which they played a leading role in Australia for
over forty years.
Eclipsed by the Modernists in the post-war decades their work was rejected
for being reactionary. Certainly there is much in the Lindsays' work and
ideas that is, by contemporary standards, politically incorrect, but they
were after all, very much artist of and for their time. What remains undeniable
is that the Lindsays provided a dynamic and vital ingredient of Australia's
developing national confidence and the robust expression in the arts that
characterised the early years of the new century.
Between them they created a genuine Australian folk art and a gallery of
popular national types that complemented the work of writers such as Lawson
and Paterson. Norman and Lionel particularly, became champions of art as
a higher vocation, and owning to their tireless activity the role of the
artist in Australian society became a matter of public debate. Norman's
lively battle with the wowsers dominated the correspondence columns of
the newspapers in the first decades of the new century.
Ursula Prunster who has organised an exhibition of the work of the five
Lindsay for the Art Gallery of New South Wales has reassessed the work
of these artists in a lively informative text which is complemented with
a series of some of their most memorable images as well as some previously
unpublished photographs which provide new insight into their working methods. |
