Arthur Boyd is represented in the National Gallery of Australia, all state galleries, many regional galleries, as well as many other important public collections in Australia and overseas. Born into a lineage of gifted painters, potters, musicians and architects, Arthur Boyd became the most celebrated member in Australia’s cultural history, of that revered artistic family.

Two Angels with Black Hair, 1964 is a powerful, dream-like image. Boyd’s use of the delicate pastel contrasts with the dramatic struggle of the two angels frozen in mid-motion across the page.
