This work shows Penleigh Boyd’s accomplished handling of the effects of light and his talent as a colourist, with the shift of delicate blues and purples giving the work a still, calm and contemplative feel. The viewer is anchored by the shoreline in the foreground and the eye floats out over the vista of the Bay, following the jetty on Point King beach, to the subtle horizon line and the glowing clouds. Boyd’s skill with watercolour is clear in this large-scale work, especially the technique of scoring the paper to create the white wave crests breaking along the shore. 5 Malakoff Street, North Caulfield, Vic, 3161 Telephone: (61 3) 9509 9855 Facsimile: (61 3) 9509 4549 Email: [email protected] Website: www.diggins.com.au ABN.19006 457 101 L A U R A I N E · D I G G I N S · F I N E · A R T Theodore Penleigh Boyd was the son of Arthur Merric Boyd (1862 – 1940, artist) and Emma Minnie Boyd (1858 – 1936, artist); brother to William Merric Boyd (1888 – 1959, potter); father to Robin Boyd (1919 – 1971, architect) and uncle to Arthur Merric Bloomfield Boyd (1920 – 1998, artist).

Arthur was concerned with the sorrows of I stress the uniqueness the human condition, he referenced mythological and biblical of the Australian landscape stories to comment on human behaviour and set his imagery in imagined landscapes.

  • Media Release 12Th April 2005
    MEDIA RELEASE: 12th April, 2005 THE BOYDS FROM 1858 – An Inspiring and Creative Family 23rd April – 19th May, 2005 The Legacy of the Boyd Family The art, writing and other activities of the Boyd family are almost like a golden thread woven throughout Australia's history. On one level the Boyds could be described as archetypal Australian. Ancestors arrived here both voluntarily and under duress, the barriers of class and education so rigid in the northern hemisphere were modified by colonial circumstance. Fortunes were made, lost, and then made again, first through commerce and later through creativity. They have lived in cities and in the countryside. The rural wilderness that was their home in the years between the two World Wars of the 20th century, became the suburbs in the post-World War II expansion. They are typically Australian in that the family still moves across oceans, from new world to old, and back again. They do not forget their cultural links to the great traditions of Europe, and these continue to inform their lives. But the Boyds are different. In Renaissance Europe it was not uncommon to have generations of artists working in studios where the extended family worked with the apprentices to make art. Painting after all was a trade, not a calling, and artists learnt through apprenticeships. It is however some centuries since this has been the norm in the west, and it never was the practice in Australia. I sometimes wonder, however, if one of the reasons the young Arthur Boyd so admired the work of both Pieter Breughels was that he knew that they came from a family like his own, where the traditions of art were passed on through the generations, along with the name.

The movement's sources will befound in the educational and cultural philosophies of both the Arts and Crafts movement of the 19th century (as beautiful and useful) and the development of Modernism (as form follows function) in the early 20th century.
