Introduced by the poet and critic Douglas Stewart, with an additional remembrance penned by Lindsay himself, the work presents an intimate portrait of a creative genius through the creatures he observed with an draughtsman's precision and a cat-lover's unbounded affection. The drawings capture each animal's particular spirit with the fluid, confident line that made Lindsay one of Australia's most celebrated and controversial figures in the visual arts.\n\nBeyond its charm as a celebration of cats, this collection illuminates the quieter, more domestic side of a man whose career was defined by bold and often provocative ambition. Stewart's introduction situates the work within Lindsay's broader artistic legacy, offering readers a gentle point of entry into a life of extraordinary creative output. For admirers of Australian art history, lovers of fine illustration, or anyone who has ever been held captive by a cat's inscrutable gaze, this volume is an irresistible treasure — leaving one to wonder just how much of Lindsay's artistic soul was shaped by the small, watchful creatures who padded silently through his studio.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49160809840859,"sku":"2026200011991-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/196a3c0f-dfc1-4b8c-ae1a-4b7b1c67bb0c.png?v=1787187716","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200011991-secondhand-norman-lindsays-cats","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
