Description
The catalogue for the exhibition of 'Arthur Boyd : the life of Saint Frances'. Boyd's childhood was informed by the Boyd family's deep Christian beliefs, which in turn influenced the moral and psychological character of this art. Drawn to the story of the life of the medieval saint, St Francis of Assisi, Boyd sought to make visible the essence of the life spirit of St Francis the man - illustrated through drawings, lithographs and tapestries made over a decade from 1964 to 1971. The David Roche Foundation is exhibiting twelve St Francis tapestries and their associated lithographs, as well as a small selection of pastels and drawings. This booklet has been published to coincide with the exhibition.
