¶ "The aim of this book is to give a wide coverage of my painted work but with an emphasis upon the very early figure works and works from recent exhibitions which have never been published. Quality has been the main criterion for selection..." - Lloyd Rees, from the "Note from the Artist". Lloyd Frederic Rees AC CMG (1895 - 1988) was an Australian landscape painter who twice won the Wynne Prize for his landscape paintings. Most of Rees's works are preoccupied with depicting the effects of light and emphasis is placed on the harmony between man and nature. Rees's oeuvre is dominated by sketches and paintings, in which the most frequent subject is the built environment in the landscape.
