Arthur Boyd at Bundanon by Janet Mckenzie

Arthur Boyd is a prolific 20th-century Australian artist. With 25,000 works of art in numerous collections, his paintings, graphics and ceramics are an established part of Australia's art legacy. In 1993, he gave his favourite workplace, Bundanon, on the Shoalhaven River in New South Wales, to the nation, where the Australian government plans to create a major art centre. The relationship between the landscape of the Shoalhaven River and Arthur Boyd's artistic career is of interest to artists and laymen alike. Boyd's concerns go beyond the landscape to the future of our environment and the exploration of human vulnerability and folly, of death and destruction. Supported by the National Gallery of Australia and Arthur Boyd himself, Janet McKenzie has researched and analyzed the artist's work realized at, and inspired by, Bundanon. The final chapter deals with the future of Bundanon with architectural schemes for the building of the new art centre by Will Alsop and Michael Spens.
