Researching Max Angus’s ‘source to sea’ exhibition is still a work in progress.  Meanwhile I have found other documents and websites which list watercolours depicting various aspects of the Derwent River.

Sue Backhouse & Christa Johannes  co-authored the publication Max Angus: a lifetime of watercolour and provided the following information: “ the … watercolour landscapes … have been selected from a sixty-year period to enable a broad exploration of subject matter and stylistic changes. The work includes examples from each decade since the late 1940’s. The earliest watercolours were painted when Max Angus returned to Hobart following the Second World War.”
