Languor (alternatively titled The Pink Drape) was
one of the first oils Norman painted at the Bridge Street studio
in 1934 and is an outstanding example of the technical mastery
Norman achieved in the medium during the 1930s. The
languid pose of the model and the opulence of the couch covering
combine to convey the tenderness of mood and feeling conveyed
by the title Languor. It is one of the paintings Norman chose
for reproduction (in black and white) in Paintings in Oil: Norman
Lindsay (The Shepherd Press, Sydney, 1945, plate 21). The Limited
Edition Languor is the exact size of the original painting, which
has never been offered for sale. |
