"Laurie Thomas' selection of drawings to be reproduced as full-page plates seeks to display the enormous diversity, range and individuality of the drawings to complement that selection, Arthur Boyd's particular concern is to include early definitions of some of his major images and their later permutations.
Christopher Tadgell's catalogue, fully illustrated with over eighteen hundred drawings, is arranged to trace the network of connections between Boyd's drawings and his work in other media, as well as the links between the drawings themselves.  The entire volume illuminates the themes which underly the unity of Arthur Boyd's work as a whole, and throws light on the differing roles of drawing in the creative process."
