OIL PAINTINGS
LANGUOR Norman Lindsay - Languor
Size
Date Published
Price
Original Medium		 59.4 x 49.7 cm
1997
$330
Oil painting
Languor (alternatively titled The Pink Drape) was one of the first oils Norman painted at the Bridge Street studio in 1934 and is an outstanding example of the technical mastery Norman achieved in the medium during the 1930s.
The languid pose of the model and the opulence of the couch covering combine to convey the tenderness of mood and feeling conveyed by the title Languor.
It is one of the paintings Norman chose for reproduction (in black and white) in Paintings in Oil: Norman Lindsay (The Shepherd Press, Sydney, 1945, plate 21). The Limited Edition Languor is the exact size of the original painting, which has never been offered for sale.
 
COURT TO PEACOCKS Norman Lindsay - Court to Peacocks
Size
Date Published
Price
Original Medium		 39.0 x 58.3 cm
1997
$330
Oil painting
Court to Peacocks, one of the few oil paintings of the 1920s, is a beautiful picture which was painted by Norman to hang in the living room at Springwood.
Rose posed for all four figures and the jardiniere is still in the garden at Springwood. This painting encompasses an amazing range of colour. The opalescence of the flesh tones contrasts with the rich peacock blue/green of the brocade gown adjacent to the peacock.
Court to Peacocks, painted in 1927, was exhibited in The Legendary Lindsays exhibition at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in 1995.

CITY OF JOY Norman Lindsay - City of Joy
Size
Date Published
Price
Original Medium		 60.3 x 52.4 cm
1999
$385
Watercolour
City of Joy is testament to Lindsay's mastery of the luminous wash technique which he had learnt from Blamire Young when working in his lithographic studio at the age of nineteen.
During the 1920s Norman Lindsay's watercolour technique and imaginary vision in the medium reached its zenith. This was his finest period for watercolour painting and City of Joy, painted in 1923, is a masterpiece of the era. The ethereal quality of the painting is enhanced by the subtle yet radiant flesh tones of the nudes contrasting with the rich brocades and delicate gowns of the costumed figures.
 
THE CURTAIN there are less than 40 left of this edition until sold out Norman Lindsay - The Curtain
Size
Date Published
Price
Original Medium		 52.2 x 41.0 cm
1992
$440
Watercolour
The Curtain, painted in 1921, is an excellent demonstration of Norman Lindsay's fascination with the intricacies of depicting skin textures against fabric. A simpler composition than Where War Ends, its rich colour conveys a feeling, as one writer put it, of 'sumptuous intimacy'.
Rose also modelled the central figure in this work which she refused to sell. During the many years she lived at Springwood it hung in the living room (always to the left of the French doors).
 
RITA OF THE EIGHTIES Norman Lindsay - Rita of the Eighties
Size
Date Published
Price
Original Medium		 53.7 x 35.7 cm
2003
$440
Watercolour
Rita Lee was Norman's favourite model after Rose and Rita of the Eighties is the only known watercolour portrait he painted of her. The amethyst purple and pink tones combine to convey the aura of serenity which Rita possessed and the touches of white on the feathered hat, lace trim and glove add to the delicacy of the picture. It is without doubt one of Norman's most beautiful watercolour portraits.
 
WHERE WAR ENDS SOLD OUT Norman Lindsay - Where War Ends
Size
Date Published
Original Medium		 57.2 x 54.0 cm
1992
Watercolour
Where War Ends, painted in 1924, is an outstanding example of the artist's control of the medium of watercolour. The central figures glow like porcelain in a composition of great warmth of colour and vivacity which is enhanced by clever use of his 'stippling' technique.
Rose modelled for both the central and kneeling figures.
The painting was purchased during the 1920s by the proprietors of the Bulletin and hung in their office for many years. At the first opportunity Rose, who had always regretted selling it, bought it back.
