| 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 nineteen.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 and 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. |
