Boyd's Nebuchadnezzar Series on Display | Brisbane News
Description
Arthur Boyd’s haunting Nebuchadnezzar series, a raw expressionist odyssey of torment and transformation, makes its first major exhibition since the 1960s at Bundanon Art Museum—nearly 50 large-scale paintings depict a figure consumed by fire and primal urges, evolving toward a surreal harmony with nature. Blending pacifist protest against the Vietnam War, biblical allegory, Blakean mysticism, and personal psychological turmoil, the works deliver a visceral, narrative arc that rivals Australia’s greatest art suites—and begs the question: why has it taken so long for this masterpiece to be seen in its full, electrifying power?
