North Sydney: Ure Smith, 1969. First Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. 162 pages, illustrated, indexed, The dust jacket is chipped at the edges; it suffers from minor loss at the head of the spine and at the front, also as the head and there is an ownership stamp on the front end paper. Overall a very good copy clean, unmarked and solid "In this book of memories, Lloyd Rees one of Australia's great landscape artists shares some of the small treasures of a lifetime, a lifetime that has spanned many of the important years in the development of art in Australia, particularly the 1920's and 1930's. Little has been written about this period in Australian art so Lloyd Rees' picture of the Smith and Julius studios art in Australia, the Society of Artists, the Heidelberg School, the contemporary movement and the Macquarie galleries, together with impressions of such giants of the early Australian art scene as George Lambert, Julian Ashton, the Lindsay's and Norman Carter will provide interesting reading."
