Painting, Helen A'Beckett Read, Nocturne, 1980
Helen A’Beckett Read is a traditional painter who did not start her career until later in life.

While Helen A’Beckett Read is an accomplished artist in her own merit, she is also a member of the famous Boyd family being the daughter of Arthur Boyd and Emma Minnie A'Beckett.ContemporaryRural City of Wangaratta Council Collection.

A special double lens attachment with image splitting mirror was added in front of the normal camera lens to produce a double image similar to the image seen by each left and right eye".
