North Caulfied, Victoria: Henry R. Lew, 1996. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. From Wikipedia: "Derwent Lees was an Australian landscape painter. Born Desmond Lees in Hobart, Australia, Lees taught drawing at the Slade School of Fine Art in London, England, and was a member of the New English Art Club from 1911. He was a friend of Augustus John and James Dickson Innes, and spent the period from late 1910 to 1912 with them at a cottage called Nant Ddu in north Wales. In 1912 Innes and Lees went on another painting trip to Collioure in France. His artistic career was curtailed by a mental health problem which saw him confined to an asylum from 1918 until his death in 1931.Born: November 14, 1884, Tasmania, Died: March 24, 1931. From Aust Lit: " Henry Lew, an ophthalmic surgeon, has had a particular interest in art. As he says in The Five Walking Sticks, this interest is not surprising, 'for the study of ophthalmology, like the study of art, is a most visual science'. Lew lives in Melbourne with his wife and two children.
