He left school at the age of 14 to begin a career in painting, but after his father's studio burnt down, Boyd took night classes at the National Gallery School, Melbourne, whilst also living and painting with his grandfather, the artist Arthur Merric Boyd.With the outbreak of the Second World War, Boyd was conscripted and served in the Army Survey Corps from 1941 to 1944. After the war, he established the Arthur Merric Boyd Pottery Workshop at Murrumbeena, with John Perceval and Peter Herbst. Deeply affected by his wartime experiences, he turned to the Bible for inspiration in his work, and as a means of expressing something of the horror of conflict. During the 1950s, he travelled to Central Australia and his work turned to landscapes; in particular he painted poetic views of the luminous Wimmera landscape. In 1957, he began his milestone Half-Caste Bride series of paintings, raising contentious issues on Australia's racial divide and the treatment of indigenous peoples.He gave a large collection of paintings, drawings, prints, as well as sculptures, ceramics, and tapestries, to the National Gallery of Australia in 1975.Condition ReportFour tiles cracked and with some scuffs and chips to the paint.The vendor bought this from a property in Hampshire.

A Mughal cuerda seca border pottery tile, Lahore or Kashmir, India, 17th century, the yellow, orange and aubergine painted decoration consisting of a central lobed medallion intersected with two foliated tendrils between a thin light brown and orange bands, a wide yellow register above and below, 21.7cm. square, on standTo the centre of the tile is an orange cusped quatrefoil palmette edged with a purple border, within which the vine knots itself into a four-petalled flower. From this central flower unfurl split-leaf palmettes as the vines join the composite half-palmettes on the right and left edges of the tile. The arabesque is framed by horizontal multiple borders of purple, yellow and white to the top, and orange, yellow and white to the bottom. The cool porcelain white glaze to the outer borders is an unusual colour rarely seen in Mughal tiles and provides a contrast with the warmth of the other glazes.The use of the cuerda seca technique would also have been learnt from Safavid tile-makers. In this technique, the design is outlined on the fired tile with a manganese purple pigment mixed with a greasy substance, which separates the areas to be coloured. These are then painted with a brush and the tile is fired a second time. The greasy lines disappear, leaving a dark brownish outline separating the different colours. Cuerda seca, literally meaning “dry cord” in Spanish, was developed during the latter part of the fourteenth century in Central Asia.The cuerda seca technique (kashi) was brought to northern India from Iran. Robert Skelton has made the observation that “even in recent times, the makers of glazed tiles (kashigars) have been Muslims, whereas Hindu builders (sutradhars) have restricted themselves to working with unglazed terracotta." The use of a resist application between the colours gives distinct separation between them and a clarity of line which is particularly effective in architectural decoration. The tiles combine glaze techniques learnt from Persian craftsmen with a palette that is distinctly Indian in its warmth. It is likely that Lahore was one of the principal centres of the Mughal cuerda seca tile manufacture, but tiles in the cuerda seca technique may also have been made in Kashmir for the monuments constructed there.See Robert Skelton et al, The Indian Heritage: Court Life and Arts under Mughal Rule, 1982, pp. 26-27, nos. 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10, for a discussion of Mughal tiles in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum.Condition Report: This lot is in very good condition.
