Summary
Twenty monumental tapestries by Arthur Boyd, each woven with millions of stitches and depicting the life of Saint Francis of Assisi, are finally being unveiled together for the first time at the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra. Commissioned between 1970 and 1974, these masterpieces have sat in storage for fifty years—long after Boyd’s passing. Curators describe the exhibition as a decades-long dream, honoring Boyd’s deep spiritual and artistic connection to the saint, who shared his values as an artist, poet, environmentalist, and pacifist. This rare, emotional display offers a stunning tribute to craftsmanship and vision, opening to the public this Saturday. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
