Lloyd Rees: Painting with Pencil 1930-36

‘Lloyd Rees: Painting with Pencil 1930-36’ tells the story of the artist and his beloved Sydney through a series of fine drawings and beautiful sketches. The exhibition is an in-depth examination of Rees’s drawings from this formative period in his career, highlighting a lesser known period from his extraordinary artistic legacy, and bringing together 90 drawings and works on paper.

Drawn from public and private collections across Australia and internationally, the stunning works, some not seen before in public, reveal Rees’s sensitive interpretation of Sydney during the interwar period.
