Lloyd Rees – Australia’s great painter of light, water, and landscape – taught freehand sketching and art history at Sydney University Architecture faculty for over 40 years. He made extraordinary creative leaps as an artist in this period.

Lloyd Rees and the architects shared a symbiotic relationship. For many of his students – a cohort that includes numerous nationally significant architects – Rees was the single most important influence on their creative lives. And Rees was constantly buoyed by the students’ energy, curiosity, and enthusiasm – even as his sight began to fail.

This biography of a great artist, teacher, and lover of architecture stretches from his childhood in Brisbane – when he first sketched plans for cities in the sand – to the visionary paintings of his final years.
