Arthur Boyd is represented in the National Gallery of Australia, all state galleries, many regional galleries, as well as many other important public collections in Australia and overseas. Born into a lineage of gifted painters, potters, musicians and architects, Arthur Boyd became the most celebrated member, in Australia’s cultural history, of that revered artistic family.
Two Angels with Black Hair 1964 is a powerful, dream-like image. Boyd’s use of the delicate pastel contrasts with the dramatic struggle of the two angel’s frozen in mid motion across the page.

Arthur Boyd’s work of the 1960s is characterised by a great focus on experimentation with alternative media such as pastel. Perhaps Boyd’s greatest achievement in pastel are the series of works based on Italy’s most revered Saint, St Francis of Assisi, which were produced in this period following his move to London. St Francis is known as the patron saint of animals and the environment. St Francis has been an important subject throughout art history and in 1963, prior to his visit to Umbria, Boyd looked at the St Francis paintings by the old master Sassetta at the National Gallery, London. In the summer of 1964, he and his family travelled to Italy, visiting the town of Gubbio where St Francis is said to have tamed the dangerous local wolfe. In the autumn of the same year, Boyd produced pastel images of the 'Wolf of Gubbio'.
The St Francis series are a major body of work, examples of which are included in all major public galleries in Australia. The series includes lithographs, paintings, pastels and tapestry. In 1975 the Australian National Gallery purchased twenty tapestries including from the St Francis series, some of which were subsequently used in the re-furnishing of Yarralumla, the Governor-General’s residence in Canberra. In 1968 Boyd made sixteen lithographs which were made into a book with TSR Boase and published by Thames and Hudson. Maragret Pont’s Arthur Boyd and Saint Francis of Assisi 1964-1974 was published by Macmillain in 2004.
