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":"Anne-Louise Willoughby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43516788310077,"sku":null,"price":47.49,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9781925815207.jpg?v=1787573121","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/nora-heysen-a-portrait","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
