"Haughton Forrest 1826-1925 by George Deas Brown is a biographical study of one of Tasmania's most significant colonial artists. The book traces Forrest's life from his early years in France and military service in Europe to his eventual settlement in Tasmania, where he became renowned for his evocative landscape and maritime paintings. Brown explores Forrest's artistic development and the strong influence of European traditions on his work, while highlighting his keen eye for detail and deep appreciation for the Tasmanian wilderness. Through personal letters, historical records, and critical analysis, the author paints a compelling portrait of an artist dedicated to capturing the natural beauty of his adopted home.

The book also situates Forrest's work within the broader context of Australian colonial art, showing how his paintings served as both artistic achievements and visual documentation of Tasmania's environment during a time of rapid change. Brown discusses Forrest's techniques, his prolific output, and the reception of his art during his lifetime and beyond. Richly illustrated and meticulously researched, Haughton Forrest 1826-1925 not only honours the legacy of a skilled and passionate painter but also preserves an important chapter of Tasmania's cultural heritage.
