Offers information on the Australian painter Arthur Boyd (1920- ), presented by Gallery Savah. Includes a biographical sketch of Boyd and contains images and descriptions of some of his collagraphs.
This is the first major study of Arthur Boyd since the long out-of-print book by Franz Philipp. This book is illustrated with more than 200 pictures, ranging from line drawings to engravings to sculptures to pastels to the major oil paintings and constitutes a significant contribution to the study of Australian art.
Arthur Boyd (1920-1999) produced numerous artworks based on the life and legends of St Francis of Assisi. This volume examines each of the artworks in detail, and each is reproduced (the pastels and tapestries in full colour). It also includes a discussion of the significance of St Francis in Italy and key Italian artistic renderings of the saint.
Arthur Boyd: agony and ecstasy is a major exhibition of Boyd's art including more than 100 works across diverse media: paintings, prints, drawings, ceramic tiles and sculptures, and tapestries. This publication provides the opportunity to contemplate a number of works that have never or rarely been previously exhibited, and to rediscover Boyd as you have never seen him before.
The focus of this exhibition catalogue is on the life and work of the significant Australian artist Arthur Boyd, internationally recognised and a central figure in the formation of Australian art history. His work will be shown alongside that of his contemporaries, such as Nolan and Blackman, whose work has shaped the identity of Australian culture. The exhibition suggests a renewed contemporary relevance in Boyd’s artwork, enlarging our understanding of his contribution as an artist and locating him as an individual engaged in the urgent issues of his time – many of which remain salient today, especially for regional and remote audiences. Over seven decades of his life Boyd felt it his social responsibility to express opposition to social inequities, discrimination, environmental destruction, human suffering, industrialisation, commercial greed, authority and the madness of war. The exhibition includes the work of a wide range of significant modern Australian artists including: Arthur Boyd, Yvonne Boyd, David Boyd, Sidney Nolan, Charles Blackman, Leonard French and Joy Hester.
Fifty years after its first publication, Robin Boyd's bestselling The Australian Ugliness remains the definitive statement on how we live and think in the environments we create for ourselves. In it Boyd rallied against Australia's promotion of ornament, decorative approach to design and slavish imitation of all things American. 'The basis of the Australian ugliness,' he wrote, 'is an unwillingness to be committed on the level of ideas. In all the arts of living, in the shaping of all her artefacts, as in politics, Australia shuffles about vigorously in the middle - as she estimates the middle - of the road, picking up disconnected ideas wherever she finds them.' Boyd was a fierce critic, and an advocate of good design. He understood the significance of the connection between people and their dwellings, and argued passionately for a national architecture forged from a genuine Australian identity. His concerns are as important now, in an era of suburban sprawl and inner-city redevelopment, as they were half a century ago. Caustic and brilliant, The Australian Ugliness is a masterpiece that enables us to see our surroundings with fresh eyes. This handsome anniversary edition is complemented by Robin Boyd's original sketches for the book and a new afterword by major contemporary architects.
