This exhibition highlights the connection between Merric Boyd, the ‘father of Australian studio pottery’ and his son Arthur Boyd, the iconic Australian artist.
Although the ceramic works of father and son are very different, many of the same attitudes and approaches to art influenced both, and link their separate ceramic pursuits. Merric’s pottery and drawings are often about his family, and Arthur’s ceramics, prints and paintings consistently refer to his father.
