A portraitist and a flower painter, Nora Heysen's life was defined by an all-consuming drive to draw and paint. In 1989, aged 78, Nora re-emerged on the Australian art scene as the nation's major art institutions restored her position after years of artistic obscurity. Extensively researched by the author, Nora Heysen- a portrait is the first biography of the artist, and it has been enthusiastically embraced by the Heysen family.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48037296636062,"sku":"ING-9781925815207","price":49.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781925815207.jpg?v=1785070160","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781925815207","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
