Arthur Boyd was a member of one of the most remarkable artistic dynasties of Australian art history. He was a master painter, potter and graphic artist: with examples of his work represented in the Australian National Gallery, all State and regional galleries as well as prominent public collections abroad.
His spirited imagination infused both the physical and spiritual landscape of Australia with beautiful and haunting insight. With the purchase in the 70s of a property in the Shoalhaven region of NSW came one of the most sustained forms of inspiration to Arthur Boyd's work. It was here that Arthur Boyd painted some of his most enduring studies of the Shoalhaven River and the Australian bush.
