Literature & references:
see Christopher Heathcote, the Art of Roger Kemp, Macmillan, Melbourne, 2007, p. 58, for the larger and more expressionistic work of the period referred to below:
"[Merle] McCrohan was shocked and slightly frightened when Kemp showed her his energetic paintings, including "Music Conception and Exploding Forms" - works which were quite outside her experience. ...... Eventually Kemp and McCrohan began sketching and painting together. They worked in the landscape at East Ivanhoe and Heidelberg near McCrohan's home, and arranged to rent as a studio an airy loft over the disused stables at a Victorian-Gothic mansion near Eaglemont railway station. Kemp mainly spent his days in the landscape dashing down lyrical images of the hills and houses, treating each view as a chance to frame a scene and practice composition."
Heathcote, op cit, p 59
