“… I began to learn the names of trees. I like to call things as they are. Before, the only thing I was interested in was love, how it grips you, how it terrifies you, how it annihilates and resuscitates you. I didn’t know then that it wasn’t even love that I was interested in but my own suffering. I thought suffering kept things interesting. How funny that I called it love and the whole time it was pain.”

— — Ada Limón, from “Calling Things What They Are,” The Hurting Kind

Norman Lindsay – Lysistrata by Jack Lindsay, 1925

Norman Alfred Williams Lindsay (1879 – 1969) was a versatile and prolific Australian artist, working as a painter, cartoonist, illustrator, etcher, sculptor and author. Lindsay was masterful with his drawing and painting technique, but his talent was often overshadowed by the controversy created by his works depicting paganism, eroticism, and attacking society’s attitudes and morals.
Lindsay was born in Creswick, Victoria and moved with his family to Melbourne. He tried attending drawing classes at the National Gallery School but quit after a few months. He began drawing for newspapers and worked as a ghost illustrator for his brother Lionel. Norman later attended life drawing classes and Lionel taught him how to etch. Norman focused on light and colour as he developed proficiency in watercolour and oils. Lindsay moved to New South Wales in 1901 where he worked for many years as the chief cartoonist for the Sydney Bulletin, his works often commenting on politics and society. His first novel was published in 1913. Lindsay became the highest paid Australian artist of is time.

Photographer Christopher Hall

Not sure what was going on in the 70s to make everyone latch onto oranges and browns, but our family car for a chunk of the 90s was this exact model and color of shorty. Our pop tricked it out with wood paneling and brown carpet, a bench seat in the back, and big windows on both sides.

It’s always fun to come across these in scrapyards and investigate how someone else decided to mod theirs. It’s super rare to see a working one in the wild!
