Lynn Davies, an academic research librarian and digital curator spent much of her career at the University of Tasmania, Hobart, Australia. She has a particular interest in late-19th-century Australian social history, with an emphasis on little-known Tasmanians, and has written biographical articles, established a social history museum, and created art and optics digital archives. She has lived in Hobart, her and Derwent Lees’s birthplace, and Collioure, France, for the last 20 years.
'An indispensable book. For the first time, we have a rigorously researched and definitive biography of Derwent Lees accompanied by a catalogue raisonné. Lynn Davies has prepared this book assiduously, correcting misinformation that has perpetuated since the artist's death.' - John Hoole, curator, writer and former Director of the Barbican Galleries, London 'Lynn Davies brings together the intimate details of Derwent Lees's life and work, producing a compelling and authoritative narrative. Her thoughtful exploration of Lees's travels, friendships, artist groups and collaborations provides a deeply considered appraisal of an important artist who is deserving of serious discussion.' - Jarrod Rawlins, Director of Curatorial Affairs, Museum of Old and New Art, Hobart, Tasmania
