As you walk through the enticing new exhibition Arthur Boyd: Agony and Ecstasy at the National Gallery of Australia you are invited to enter a visual journey into Boyd's heart and mind with landscapes both literal and mythical. As major works of his career and Australia's art historical past arrest you and ask you to stay a little longer, to examine the technique, ponder the narrative and enjoy the vibrancy of colour, something happens. You start to understand each work better for seeing all of them together. The curator of the exhibition, Deborah Hart, has assembled for us windows of time over a period of 40 years of the artist's life.
