Lloyd Rees: An Artist Remembers is a deeply personal and beautifully curated retrospective of one of Australia’s most cherished painters. Through evocative recollections and detailed commentary, the renowned artist invites readers to explore the milestones of his illustrious career. Guided by the expertise of art historian Renée Free, this volume chronicles Rees’s artistic evolution—from his early tonal paintings and masterful pencil drawings of the 1930s to his later, transcendental explorations of light, sun, and the Australian landscape.
Beyond a mere catalogue of works, this book offers an intimate look at the man behind the canvas. Rees reflects on the inspirations behind iconic pieces, the technical challenges of painting en plein air, and the profound emotional connection he felt toward his subjects, ranging from the rugged beauty of the New South Wales coast to the timeless vistas of Italy. Featuring works previously unpublished at the time of release, this collection provides a unique perspective on a life defined by creative vigour and a visionary commitment to art. It is an essential volume for anyone who values the intersection of landscape, memory, and light.
