Lloyd Rees is one of Australia’s most preeminent landscape artists. He was inspired by Europeans Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot and JW Turner, forging a style that varied over his lifetime from precision to rhythmic sombre works before the visions of late that characterised his late works.

Rees was particularly taken with waterways. In the meditative lithograph, ‘Upper Tamar River’, he envisions Tasmania’s Tamar River with moody restraint. The scene is still and slight, an impression of the landscape that lingers long after viewing.

Rees is said to have inspired John Olsen and Brett Whiteley. He is a multitime Wynne Prize winner and represented across public collections. For collectors of modern art, he is a must.
