DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Arthur Boyd is among the greatest painters to have emerged from Australia in the 20th century. Beautiful and disturbing, and often filled with alienated, haunting figures, Boyd’s art developed from his early, astonishingly perceptive portraits and the uneasy townscapes of the war years to culminate in a considerable body of intensely beautiful and distinctively Australian landscapes. Janet McKenzie devotes particular attention to the publications for which Boyd provided illustrations, notably his four collaborations with Australian poet Peter Porter - 'Jonah, The Lady and the Unicorn, Narcissus and Mars'. Boyd’s biographical study is complemented with a chronology, a list of works illustrated by him and a full bibliography, as well as over 250 illustrations, paintings, drawings, prints and ceramics, and the works of the Old Masters that inspired this engaging and infinitely compassionate artist.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →At the height of the Korean War, President Truman launched one of the most important intelligence -- gathering operations in history. So valuable were the mission's findings about the North Korean-Soviet-Chinese alliance that it is no stretch to say they prevented World War III. Only one man -- sworn to secrecy for a half-century -- survived Operation Broken Reed. Arthur Boyd recalls his role as cryptographer on a team of Army Rangers, Navy Frogmen, Air Force officers, and CIA operatives that posed as the captured crew of a B-29 bomber in January 1952. Given cover names and cyanide capsules in case of discovery, the men were transported by Chinese Nationalists wearing Communist uniforms across North Korea, where undercover allies delivered information about troop strengths, weaponry, and intention. Fraught with danger, the mission came apart on its last day when the Americans came under fire from Chinese forces wise to the operation. The members of Broken Reed supplied Truman with proof of massive Chinese and Soviet buildups and a heavy Soviet bomber group in Manchuria, fully loaded with atomic weapons. With the potential destruction of the world outlined in front of him, Truman chose not to escalate the Korean War, saving millions of lives.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The focus of this exhibition catalogue is on the life and work of the significant Australian artist Arthur Boyd, internationally recognised and a central figure in the formation of Australian art history. His work will be shown alongside that of his contemporaries, such as Nolan and Blackman, whose work has shaped the identity of Australian culture. The exhibition suggests a renewed contemporary relevance in Boyd’s artwork, enlarging our understanding of his contribution as an artist and locating him as an individual engaged in the urgent issues of his time – many of which remain salient today, especially for regional and remote audiences. Over seven decades of his life Boyd felt it his social responsibility to express opposition to social inequities, discrimination, environmental destruction, human suffering, industrialisation, commercial greed, authority and the madness of war. The exhibition includes the work of a wide range of significant modern Australian artists including: Arthur Boyd, Yvonne Boyd, David Boyd, Sidney Nolan, Charles Blackman, Leonard French and Joy Hester.
