Lindsay, Norman

Lindsay, Norman
(2/22/1879 Crewick, Victoria-11/21/1969 New South Wales) (Australia)
   Prominent, largely self-taught Australian painter and illustrator. His unconventional lifestyle and erotically charged art created great controversy. An example of one such work is the Crucified Venus (1912) depicting a sensual female nude being crucified. A movie partially based on his life entitled Sirens, starred Sam Neill as Lindsay.
