About this object
Max Watters was born in Muswellbrook, and he lived there most of his life until his death (on 1 February 2020). He was a self-taught painter who painted the landscapes of the Upper Hunter for more than 50 years, recording the heritage of landscapes, houses and homesteads in his unique style. He had many exhibitions, and his work has been collected by galleries around Australia including the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, the Art Gallery of New South Wales and Maitland Regional Art Gallery.
Glenbawn Road stretches for some 10km through vineyards and dairy farms, skirting Glenbawn Dam, 20 minutes north of Muswellbrook. The painting depicts the often green landscape of ancient Wonnarua Country, and historic farm buildings which may no longer exist at this time.
