Norman Lindsy (1879-1969) was an Australian born artist and talented boxer. He was thought of as one of Australia’s greatest artists. Most of his work was to the chagrin of religious folks. He had an open mind lets just say. He worked in many different mediums like pen, etching, water color and sculptures in concrete and bronze. Many of his subjects were nudes.  As you can imagine he’s work was very controversial. In 1940 his wife took 16 crates of his art on a train with her to protect them from the nascent war. The train caught fire unfortunately, and the work was impounded and burned as pornography. Norman shrugged it off and did more however.
