NORMAN LINDSAY 1879-1969 | VIC, NSW | Artist, painter, author and sculptor Lindsay was an accomplished black and white artist, painter, author, and sculptor whose technical skills were often lost in the controversy over his frequently vulgar or risqué subject matter. He became a household name through his cartoons and illustrations of the political commentary published in The Bulletin and other magazines for 50 years from 1901. He maintained cartoons should reflect the views of the publication, rather than the artist, earning notoriety through his visual definition of The Bulletin’s isolationist and racist editorial policies. He championed the role of the artist as a moral and social critic in an era torn apart by two great wars. He became at ease with many areas of artistic comment: satire, comedy, anti-war, the freedom movement, an interest in model yachts, and erotica.

Grace Gifford Plunkett was an extraordinary character and Marie O'Neill's biography is well worth a read. I'm pretty sure Marie gave a talk to the National Library of Ireland Society about 15 years ago or so. Grace's painting in her cell in Kilmainham is rightfully famous:
