Artist who exhibited an oil painting of the Shoalhaven River, a watercolour of Ulladulla Beach in New South Wales and dry point and aquatint prints with the West Australian Society of Arts in 1933. In 1934 his exhibits were two etchings. The critic 'Renee’ wrote of his 1935 exhibits “Max Ragliss (sic) exhibited several aquatints, the most outstanding of which was Building of the Murray Locks“. George Benson wrote of the same exhibition, “a large oil, Calm Day, Myponga Beach, restrained in colour but poorly handled technically, is to be preferred to his aquatint Summer Morning. His huge drypoint, Building the Murray Loch suffers from unity of pattern and lack of composition.”
