Note: This painting is from Boyd’s ‘Church and State’ series, which followed his second trip to General Franco’s Spain in 1964. The series explored his opinion on the corrupt nature of the clergy and totalitarian regime in Spain, presenting his attack on the church and state into symbolic, figurative images. This bold and impactful series was first exhibited at the Zwemmer Gallery in London in July 1965, and it is very likely this painting was exhibited there.
