His watercolours, by contrast, have been somewhat overshadowed in the public record by his more notorious productions — the oils and etchings of Bacchanalian subjects that attracted censorship and controversy throughout his working life and that have tended to define the popular understanding of his art. This volume addresses that imbalance with considerable authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe 135 watercolours reproduced here, selected and documented by Lin Bloomfield from public galleries and private collections across Australia, cover the full arc of Lindsay's working life from 1897 to 1969 — from the earliest surviving student work of an eighteen-year-old in Creswick, through the long middle period at Faulconbridge in the Blue Mountains, to the works of his final years. The range of subject matter is characteristic of Lindsay's restless imagination: scenes from Greek and Roman mythology, Old Testament episodes rendered with the same absence of conventional piety he brought to everything, piracy and maritime adventure, figures from classical literature, and the figures — predominantly female, predominantly nude, predominantly at leisure in a landscape of Arcadian abundance — that recur throughout his work as embodiments of a particular aesthetic vision that Lindsay held with absolute consistency from his twenties to his death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWhat the watercolour medium reveals about Lindsay that the etchings conceal is the quality of his colour sensibility. The etchings are masterworks of tonal control in black and white; the watercolours show a colourist of genuine subtlety, working with the translucency of the medium to achieve atmospheric effects quite different from those available to him in oil or in etching. Several of the works reproduced here are drawn from private collections and have rarely if ever been publicly exhibited, giving the volume documentary value beyond its appeal as a production object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eLin Bloomfield, the author of the scholarly apparatus accompanying the reproductions, had a long association with the Lindsay family and is among the foremost authorities on his work.

Founded in London in 1926 by Jack Lindsay, with financial support from P. R. Stephensen and the backing of his father Norman's reputation, it set out to produce limited editions of classical and Renaissance texts in a style that fused the ideals of the private press movement with the Dionysian sensibility that Norman Lindsay had been embodying in Australian art for two decades. The press took its name from a medieval French term for a jester's ornament and its productions were consistently among the most handsome of their period: typographically distinguished, explicitly erotic in many cases, and designed to shock the respectable reader as much as to delight the cultivated one. It operated until 1930, producing forty-three titles in four years, and its publications are among the most sought-after Australian fine press books of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eEkklesiazousai\u003c\/em\u003e — variously translated as \u003cem\u003eAssemblywomen\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eWomen of the Assembly\u003c\/em\u003e, or \u003cem\u003eWomen in Parliament\u003c\/em\u003e — was written by Aristophanes around 392 BC and is among his later and stranger comedies. Praxagora, a citizen woman of Athens, leads the women of the city in a conspiracy: dressing as men, they infiltrate the assembly before dawn and pass a resolution handing control of the state to the women. Once in power, they institute a radical programme of collective ownership: all private property to be held in common, and an equally radical reorganisation of sexual life, by which the young and beautiful are required to satisfy the old and ugly before satisfying each other. The play is a comedy of inversions, using the fantasy of female governance to examine the pretensions of Athenian democracy and the absurdities of utopian thought with the same irreverence Aristophanes brought to everything. Jack Lindsay's translation retains the play's linguistic energy and its willingness to be vulgar in the service of laughter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eJack Lindsay (1900–1990), Norman's eldest son, was born in Brisbane and educated in Queensland before joining his father in Sydney and subsequently emigrating to England in 1926 to help found the Fanfrolico Press. He went on to write over 170 books across his long career,becoming one of the most prolific and wide-ranging British writers of his generation. His classical translations, produced in the late 1920s and early 1930s, are among the finest of their period in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eNorman Lindsay (1879–1969) needs little introduction to Australian readers, and none at all to collectors of Australian art. His etchings for the Fanfrolico Press editions are among the most significant contributions to Australian illustrated book production of the twentieth century. In this edition they provide an accompaniment to Aristophanes' comedy that is, in the best sense of the word, perfectly inappropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe unnumbered presentation copy status places this volume outside the regular limitation sequence — a copy set aside from the edition for distribution at the discretion of the press or its principals, and carrying with it the additional interest of an unknown specific recipient.

Between 1797 and 1807, he produced \u003cem\u003eNew Illustration of the Sexual System of Carolus von Linnaeus\u003c\/em\u003e, a work intended to be the most magnificent botanical publication ever made. Its third and most celebrated part was \u003cem\u003eThe Temple of Flora\u003c\/em\u003e: a series of flower paintings in which the plants were presented not against the flat white grounds of conventional botanical illustration but within dramatic landscaped settings that gave each plate the character of a Romantic landscape painting as much as a work of natural history. He commissioned the leading artists of the day, including Peter Henderson, Philip Reinagle, and Abraham Pether, and had their paintings engraved and hand-coloured to a standard that had no precedent in botanical publishing. The cost was ruinous. Thornton never recovered financially from the project, and in 1811 he resorted to a parliamentary lottery to dispose of the plates and books.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe plates that survived this history are among the most extraordinary objects in the literature of natural history illustration: oversize, technically accomplished, and of an extravagance that sets them apart from anything produced before or since.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eGiven the history of Thornton's original, the story of the Folio Society facsimile of 2008 is somewhat ironic. Published with similar difficulties, the intention was to produce 1,980 copies, however a lukewarm initial response forced the publisher to change plans, only producing 600 bound copies, and offering the rest of the plates loose. Despite the issues, this is among the largest and most beautiful works the Folio Society has ever created. Printed at full elephant folio scale with the cover design reproducing \u003cem\u003eThe Night-Blowing Cereus\u003c\/em\u003e in gilt and colour, is the most faithful large-scale reproduction of the complete series.

Where his contemporaries at the Heidelberg School — Roberts, Streeton, McCubbin — were engaged in rendering the Australian landscape with the clear-eyed directness of the plein-air tradition, Long was asking a different question: what would happen if Pan came to the eucalyptus forest? What would happen if the spirit presiding over the Australian bush were not a weather-beaten selector or a drover's wife but a nude figure playing pipes while children danced in the heat haze beneath the gum trees?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eHis answer was \u003cem\u003ePan\u003c\/em\u003e (1898), the painting that made his reputation and that remains his best-known work: a panoramic horizontal canvas in which a young woman plays pan-pipes in a luminous golden landscape of native grasses and silhouetted eucalypts, while a procession of distant nude figures moves across the middle ground in a sinuous, decorative line. The work won the Wynne Prize — awarded for the best landscape painting of the year — and announced a sensibility that was both authentically Australian in its observation of light and country, and thoroughly international in its awareness of what Gustave Moreau and the Pre-Raphaelites and the Vienna Secession were doing to the figure in landscape. Long won the Wynne Prize four times in total, a record that reflects the consistency and the depth of his engagement with the Australian landscape as a subject over more than a decade of sustained production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFrom approximately 1906 Long turned primarily to etching and printmaking, and the Sydney Harbour etchings and drypoints he produced over the following decades constitute an equally significant body of work — meticulous, atmospheric, technically accomplished — that is now highly sought after in the print market. He taught at East Sydney Technical College for many years, shaping several generations of Australian artists, and remained a respected figure in Sydney's art world until his death in 1955.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eJoanna Mendelssohn's monograph, published by Copperfield Publishing in 1979, was the first comprehensive scholarly account of Long's life and work and remains the standard reference on the subject. Copperfield Publishing, the Sydney-based fine art press, produced the book in two formats: a trade edition and the signed limited deluxe edition offered here, bound in full crushed Morocco and limited to 275 copies.

At some point in middle age he changed his surname — \u003cem\u003emeier\u003c\/em\u003e being an archaic German term for farmer, \u003cem\u003eDisfarmer\u003c\/em\u003e a direct repudiation of the name and presumably the identity — and settled in the small town of Heber Springs, where he built a modest studio with a large north-facing window and operated it as a commercial photographer for four decades. He charged fifty cents for three prints, did not coax his subjects into smiling, provided no props or painted backdrops, and lit everything with natural light. He died alone in his studio in 1959, in possession of thousands of glass-plate negatives, intestate and unrecognised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe negatives were purchased by a former Heber Springs mayor, who in 1973 brought them to the attention of Peter Miller, then editor of the local newspaper. Miller spent a year publishing the portraits in his paper and preserving the glass plates; he sent prints to Julia Scully at \u003cem\u003eModern Photography\u003c\/em\u003e magazine, who immediately understood their significance. The first publication of Disfarmer's work followed in 1976. The 1996 Twin Palms edition, edited and designed by Jack Woody and produced with 180 gravure plates printed in Kyoto, drew on a wider selection of the surviving negatives to produce what became the standard monograph on the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWhat makes Disfarmer's photographs extraordinary is precisely their resistance to artfulness. His sitters — cotton farmers, soldiers home on leave, mothers with children, courting couples, tradesmen, labourers — presented themselves to the camera without the mediation of professional stagecraft, and Disfarmer recorded them with the same directness. The results are among the most psychologically immediate portrait photographs in American art: confrontational in their plainness, quietly monumental, and possessed of an honesty that implicates the viewer. The comparison to August Sander is apt, and the comparison to Diane Arbus less so but often made.

The result, as contemporary observers noted, produced \"the most lifelike renderings of birds ever made.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis facsimile edition was produced to the highest standards and limited to just 200 numbered copies.

Rosemary Crill, writing as senior curator of the V\u0026amp;A's Asian Department, traces the fabric back to its source: the workshops of southeast India's Coromandel Coast, where craftsmen using hand-drawn mordant and resist-dyeing techniques produced textiles of an intricacy and colourfastness that no European manufacturer could match. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the early seventeenth century, these cloths flooded into Europe through the East India trade and promptly caused social and economic havoc — inspiring import bans, riots, the literal stripping of clothing from fashionable backs, and ultimately the industrial revolution in printed cotton that transformed European domestic interiors forever.

This catalogue, compiled a decade after opening by curators Michael Lloyd and Michael Desmond, is the permanent scholarly record of that collection as it stood at its first maturity: Monet and Cézanne, Pollock and Calder, and the full arc of a century in which Western art remade itself entirely.
