NORMAN LINDSAY HISTORY
In 1912, Norman Lindsay (1879 1969) and his model and muse, Rose Soady, purchased the original sandstone cottage and surrounding 42 acres of native bushland and set about making it a home and artistic haven they named Springwood.
It was here that Lindsay created the etchings, oils, watercolours, pen drawings, ship models, and novels for which he became famous. Over the years, Lindsay transformed the property by adding classical colonnades and a Roman courtyard to the house and embellishing the grounds with fountains and sculptures.
Shortly before he died in 1969, Lindsay bequeathed a significant collection of his work to the National Trust (NSW), with the condition that the National Trust acquire the property where he had lived for nearly 60 years, to become a gallery for the permanent exhibition of his work.
Today, Lindsays body of work lives on in the permanent collection, in changing exhibitions, and in the dedicated display of his beloved childrens story, The Magic Pudding.
