DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe 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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKArthur Boyd is among the greatest painters to have emerged from Australia in the 20th century. Beautiful and disturbing, and often filled with alienated, haunting figures, Boyd’s art developed from his early, astonishingly perceptive portraits and the uneasy townscapes of the war years to culminate in a considerable body of intensely beautiful and distinctively Australian landscapes. Janet McKenzie devotes particular attention to the publications for which Boyd provided illustrations, notably his four collaborations with Australian poet Peter Porter - 'Jonah, The Lady and the Unicorn, Narcissus and Mars'. Boyd’s biographical study is complemented with a chronology, a list of works illustrated by him and a full bibliography, as well as over 250 illustrations, paintings, drawings, prints and ceramics, and the works of the Old Masters that inspired this engaging and infinitely compassionate artist.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe reputations of artists are curious things, influenced by factors beyond the quality of the work. Affairs of the Art explores the role those left behind play in burnishing an artist's reputation after he or she dies. Through interviews with those handling the estates of artists including Fred Williams, Brett Whiteley, John Brack, Howard Arkley, Bronwyn Oliver, George Baldessin and Albert Tucker, as well as a raft of art dealers, academics, curators and auctioneers, Strickland traverses the strange alleyways of the art market, where power resides with those who hold the best stock, and highlights the sometimes heart-wrenching way emotion and duty intersect in the making of decisions by those left behind.
