Book Description
Kyffin Williams is the culmination of four years of research at two centres for Kyffin Williams's art, the National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth, and Oriel Mon, Anglesey. Dr. Qing Chao Ma's illuminating new study incorporates Kyffin Williams's full range; his inspirational landscapes and seascapes in oil, his delicate watercolours, his distinctive linocuts and his mesmeric portraits. With her particular expertise, the author also draws comparisons between the work of Williams and Chinese art, linking him to other artistic traditions and establishing his rightful place in the worldwide art community. Combined with a rigorous biographical account on the life which informed the work and a rich variety of illustrations, Kyffin Williams is an invaluable contribution to the study and appreciation of one of Wales's foremost artists.'No other artist and author has collated so many diverse examples of Sir Kyffin's art in one publication with such coherence. This is a book put together with great care and purpose and written from the heart.' David Meredith, Sir Kyffin Williams Trust

Concise, insightful chapters by writer and curator David Moore examine the quality and variety of artworks assembled by Derek Williams or supported by the activity of the Trust over a period of over 25 years, ranging from painting to ceramics, photography and digital media. Illustrated with a wealth of artworks from the Trust s collection and related exhibitions.
