that Anzac Parade was officially opened, the painter, teacher, illustrator, cartoonist and muralist, Harold Freedman (1915-1999) produced the series Canberra Lithographs.  These include 'Canberra from Capital Hill Looking North-East', which is essentially a panoramic view of Lake Burley Griffin with Anzac Parade at the centre of the work.  A pencil version is held in the National Gallery of Australia's collection (artsearch.nga.gov.au/Detail.cfm?IRN=44335, accessed May 2012).

In 1976, Roberts (1976, passim) published Cedric Emanuel's Canberra Sketchbook.  It contains sketches of two of the memorials that line Anzac Parade – the Desert Mounted Corps Memorial and the Royal Australian Air Force Memorial.  Emanuel (1906-1995) worked as a freelance artist for most of his working life.  He published numerous sketchbooks, and his work is held by major galleries including the National Gallery of Australia (Roberts 1976, passim).

In 1993 David Watt made a series of three works titled Amendments 1993 (gouache drawings on colour photographs), in which photos of iconic Canberra landmarks are depicted with mundane but recognisably Australian objects superimposed.  Two of the pictures in the series depict Anzac Parade, with the pond surrounded by a phalanx of Victa lawnmowers in one, and with carports surrounding the red gravel centre strip in the other.  The works form part of the National Gallery of Australia's collection, and were displayed in an exhibition at the Canberra Museum and Gallery in 2010 (Deborah Clark, Curator of Visual Arts, Canberra Museum and Gallery, personal communication, 13 October 2011).

Watt (1952-1998) was a painter, sculptor and teacher, who also taught at Curtin University and then the ANU.  During his time in Canberra (1991-1998) he was a prominent member of the local arts community (ACT Museums & Galleries, 'David Watt', www.museumsandgalleries.act.gov.au/cmag/DavidWatt.html, accessed October 2011, site inactive 4 August 2022;  Deborah Clark, Curator of Visual Arts, Canberra Museum and Gallery, personal communication, 13 October 2011).

Jean Weiner's 1995 cartoon, 'Inauguration Day: Australian Vietnam Forces National Monument', was published in Guy Freeland's Canberra Cosmos (Freeland 1995, p. 99).  Nothing has come to light regarding Weiner's standing as an artist.

In 2002, Bob Marchant depicted the sixtieth anniversary of the opening of the Australian War Memorial.  While largely figurative, the painting includes the parade ground at the end of Anzac Parade.  The work was commissioned by the Australian War Memorial and is included in its collection (ART91794, cas.awm.gov.au/item/ART91794, accessed October 2011).  Marchant (born 1938) is mainly a figurative painter.  In 1988 and 1989 he
