Anthony Fitzpatrick, "Edwin Tanner: Mathematical Expressionist", Tarrawarra Museum of Art, 2018, exhibition catalogue, see illus p 40 for ‘Self Portrait of the Artist Stunting’, 1958 (previous CBUS collection);
"Edwin Tanner: Selected Later Works', Charles Nodrum Gallery, exhibition catalogue, 2009, see illus unpaginated for ‘Homage to Pioneer Airmen’, 1962, for an abstracted reference to the artist’s interest in flying consisting of multiple toy plane propellers embedded in the construction.
