Arthur Boyd (Australian, 1920-1999) Magic Flute II signed in pencil lower right ""Arthur Boyd"" and numbered 21/25 collagraph 66 x 54cm (26 x 21in) Arthur Boyd was born in Murrumbeena, Victoria, into an artistic family, being the grandson of renowned landscape artist Arthur Merric, who was heavily influential and a strong supporter of Boyd`s artistic talent from an early age. After serving in the war, during which time he produced numerous works depicting life in battle, he returned to Murrumbeena, where he turned his hand to pottery, ceramic painting and sculpture. During the late 1940s and 50s Boyd returned to painting, travelling to Victoria`s Wimmera county and Central Australia; it was during this period of his career when he found great popularity due to these landscape paintings. Perhaps Boyd`s best know series was that which focused on the lives of indigenous aboriginals living in the Australian outback; The Bride series was completed between 1957 and 1959, and focused on the rights and rituals of this community mixed with the Western traditions of modern Australia. Part of this series is now held in the National Gallery of Australia. After a spell in Europe, Boyd and his wife Yvonne returned to Australia, settling near the Shoalhaven River on the New South Wales coast, and his paintings of the Shoalhaven became some of his most recognised landscapes. During his life, Boyd was part of The Antipodeans, a group of Melbourne artists which included, amongst others, David Boyd, John Brack and Charles Blackman. He received an Order of Australia, and his work is held in numerous public and private collections, both internationally and in his native Australia.
