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.

He found in the Australian landscape an inexhaustible source of luminous, meditative imagery that sustained him across nine decades of creative life.
