Norman Lindsay’s and <em>The Picnic</em> (1944) and <em>The Duke’s Picnic</em> (1945)

Two picnics engage viewers to admire Lindsay’s unmistakable style. The Picnic, done in 1944) is a joke that upends expectations. Half of the women picnickers are naked. The Duke’s Picnic (1945) is a typical picnic where all the guests are clothed. Viewers are discouraged from finding the picnic feast.
