Norman Lindsay was a prolific Australian author and artist who worked in many media. He's known today mainly for his delightfully erotic line drawings featuring full-figured female nudes. Michael Powell's last film was an adaptation of Lindsay's novel The Age Of Consent, and a film about Lindsay's life, Sirens, was released in 1994.
