ORDER INFO |
David Boyd (b.1924 ) enjoyed a family background of pottery and painting that also nurtured the talents of his elder brothers Arthur and Guy, and sisters Lucy and Mary.
David first received critical acclaim as a master potter when, during the fifties and sixties he worked in a creative partnership with his wife Hermia.
His career as a painter began in 1957 with a series of symbolic paintings on Australian explorers. A Storm of controversy surrounded these works and subsequent paintings based on the tragic history of the Tasmanian Aborigines. This was followed by the powerful Trial series which raised similar criticism and only subsided when in 1961 David and his family moved to Rome (with the assistance of an Italian Government Art Scholarship) and later to London.
It was in London that David's work first won significant international recognition and his stature as a major force in the art world was established.
After a brief return to Australia in 1968, some years were spent living and working in the south of France before a permanent move back to Australia in 1975. Since then David has painted several major series of works.
In 1994 David Boyd became artist-in-residence at the School of Law, Macquarie University, Sydney.
