Norman Alfred William Lindsay (born Creswick, Victoria February 22, 1879) - Prolific artist, sculptor, author and scale modeler, Lindsay is widely regarded as one of Australia's greatest artists. His sumptuous nudes were highly controversial and in 1939 several were burned by irate wowsers in the United States who discovered them when the train in which they traveled caught fire. A large body of his work is housed in the Norman Lindsay Gallery at Springwood, New South Wales.
