Lloyd Frederic Rees AC CMG (17 March 18952 December 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. ==Life and training== Rees was born in Brisbane, Queensland, the seventh of eight children of Owen Rees and his wife Angèle Burguez,〔Art Gallery of NSW, Lloyd Rees, the Sketchbooks, 2002, http://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/sub/rees/biography.html, retrieved July 2007〕 who was half Mauritian, half Cornish.〔National Library of Australia news , Volume 8, 1997〕〔http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=yTKFBXfCI1QC&printsec=frontcover&dq=the+australian+people+an+encyclopedia+of+the+nation+its+people+and+their+origins&hl=en&ei=680QTZLFMYOKhQe6lYi3Dg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCYQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=cornish&f=false〕 After formal art training at Brisbane's Central Technical College,〔 he commenced work as a commercial artist in 1917.〔 Rees was engaged to sculptor Daphne Mayo, but it was broken off in 1925.
