“Paint me a dream of Pedder”. Thus Olegas Truchanas inspired in his fried many of the paintings immortalised in this magnificent book. For the allure of Pedder cannot be fully translated into words. These very beautiful images, of a place that many still dream of, rekindle our belief in the need for restorations of all that is beautiful and pure.
In this, his latest book, Max Angus speaks of values stemming from a profound aesthetic sensibility that took him with a group of friends back and back to Lake Pedder, the heart of Tasmania’s South-West wilderness. The book celebrates over fifty years of paintings of Lake Pedder by one artist: Max Angus’ association with Lake Pedder goes back to 1953. In 2008 he is still painting Lake Pedder.
Future generations will delight in the visual and inscribed record create by one of the country’s most distinguished artists. It will be an enduring legacy; a memento of the heart of South-West Tasmania and a reminder that it is within our power to recapture this beautiful jewel.
