143 The Curtain, 1921/1992 [Colour Reproduction] Norman Lindsay Reproduced from the original watercolour painting, 52.2 x 41cm Painted in 1921, The Curtain 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, it conveys a feeeling of "sumptuous intimacy" where the rich colour vibrates from corner to corner. Rose 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). |

144 Court to Peacocks, 1927/1997 [Colour Reproduction] Norman Lindsay Reproduced from the original oil painting, 39 x 58.3cm One of Lindsay's few oil paintings of the twenties (1927), Court to Peacocks 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 contrast with the rich peacock blue/green of the brocade gown adjacent to the peacock. Court to Peacocks was exhibited in The Legendary Lindsays exhibition at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in 1995. It has never been offered for sale. |

145 Languor, 1934/1997 [Colour Reproduction] Norman Lindsay Reproduced from the original oil painting, 59.4 x 49.7cm 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. It is one of the paintings Norman chose for reproduction (in b&w) 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. |

146 Where War Ends, 1924/1992 [Colour Reproduction] Norman Lindsay Reproduced from the original watercolour painting, 57.2 x 54cm Painted in 1924, Where War Ends 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 twenties 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. |

147 City of Joy, 1923/1999 [Colour Reproduction] Norman Lindsay Reproduced from the original watercolour painting, 60.3 x 52.4cm 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 19. 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: 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. City of Joy was the catalogue cover illustration for the Auction of Works from the Estate of Jane Glad (W.J. Elstub) in June, 2000. |
