Illustrated: Exhibition Catalogue, Arthur Boyd, Australian Embassy, Washington DC, 1986
Exhibited: Arthur Boyd, Australian Embassy, Washington DC, 30 May – 21 June 1986.

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. Arthur Boyd is represented in the National Gallery of Australia, all state galleries, many regional galleries and many other important public collections both in Australia and overseas.

The Shoalhaven River is one of the most important subjects in Arthur Boyd’s remarkable body of work. The Boyd’s purchased the first of two properties, Riversdale, in 1973 and the second, Bundanon in 1979. Pulpit Rock, Bathers and Muzzled Dog c.1987 assaults the viewer with a vivid depiction of nature vs man-made hedonism. A dramatic painting with much wall power, it is concerned with the destruction of beauty, peace and tranquility in the natural environment through ignorant and pleasure seeking pastimes such as water skiing. This is clearly evident in the violent juxtaposition of a muzzled dog chasing a helmet wearing human figure (which appears to morph into an animalistic symbol of speed and greed) against a serene seemingly untouched escarpment of natural landscape. (Janet McKenzie, Arthur Boyd: Art and Life, pp.186-189)

To be included with the purchase of The Monuments 1990

James Gleeson's passing in 2008 marked the end of one of the greatest careers in Australian Art. Gleeson leaves behind one of the most important bodies of work ever produced by an Austraian artist. His devotion to, and mastery of Surrealism spanning the 1930's to the late 1990's remains an important record of not only his work but that of the Surrealist genre. Gleeson played a significant role in the Australian art world, not only as a painter and poet, but as a critic, writer and curator. Gleeson combined a great intelligence with skillful draughtsmanship and great facility in handling paint. Delving into the subconscious, Gleeson used literary, mythological or religious subject matter to allow the viewer glimpses of extraordinary beauty. The Monuments 1990 is a large work from the late period which convey a sumptuous monumentality.

Gleeson is represented in the National Gallery of Australia, all state galleries, most regional galleries, university collections, Artbank, and many corporate and private collections.

Eubena has painted some of her country south west of Balgo, along the Canning Stock Route. The circle to the right of the painting represents Kunawarritji (Well 33) and is the place where Eubena would often hunt. The circle to left is a small tjurrnu and a place where women dance.
