Lloyd Rees was born in Brisbane, Queensland in 1895. One of the most beloved figures in Australian art history, he spent a long and prolific career as a draughtsman, painter, and printmaker of extraordinary sensitivity. Seeking out the varied landscapes of Tasmania, New South Wales, and Central Australia, he made a veritable catalogue of their physical features — mountains, cliff faces, rocks, and valleys rendered with the precision of a master draughtsman. He found in the Australian landscape an inexhaustible source of luminous, meditative imagery that sustained him across nine decades of creative life.
