The Chair’s report (essentially that of the Executive) activity. After a short period ‘out of harness’ following ten years as is more management orientated to begin reflecting more formal Secretary, at my first Executive Meeting I was very pleased to see requirements. Fortunately, it no longer needs to concentrate on so many familiar faces around the table. There was an immediate the art, education and social events of the year as these now are comforting sense of ready support and it soon became obvious that admirably covered in the annual Newsletter. However, on occasions the few new members, already known to me as stalwart CASW the Chair will wish to cover additional concerns. I feel sure the members, had strengthened an already effective Committee. On membership would wish me to avail myself of this opportunity their behalf it is my pleasure to present the Society Report for to convey on the Society’s behalf, apologies to Bernard Rees for 2007. the failure of the audio- visual equipment on the occasion of his Buyer’s Presentation. I can also record his deft and skilful coping so Our deliberations and decisions, as usual and as appropriate, that we were all enjoyably instructed. were conducted and taken within the framework of the Society’s Constitution and with due regard to our charitable status. Members are most welcome to convey to the Executive any Fundamental to these considerations and to the ability of CASW suggestions they may have concerning the running of the Society to promulgate its objects and associated objectives is sound financial whether it be management issues such as the size of the Executive management and so it is seriously satisfying for the Executive or on events, lectures and visits programmes. Contributions to the to feel able to unreservedly commend to the membership the Newsletter are always welcome. Please contact the Secretary if you financial accounts. A purposeful attitude is developing which seeks wish to express views on the running of the Society – after all it to encourage positive spending to allow CASW to progress a is yours. changing role to meet an ever evolving contemporary art scene. In such an approach there is a potential danger of financial laxity and CASW’s debt across a wide spectrum of activities to so many for some to treat expenditure too casually. The Executive is mindful continues unabated. I am so fortunate to chair such a team and of these temptations and will resist. such a Society. The other major management issue which received general attention is the size of the Executive. At 24 – 7 officers,17 members - many are concerned that it is in danger of being too large for efficient decision making. With all members entitled to speak on any/all issues, discussions could take considerable time, immaterial of the complexity of the agendum. Furthermore, there is an unwritten 3 obligation for members to take meaningful part in such discussions. No formal discussion has yet taken place though there is an intention to do so. At present there is an increasing tendency to use small working groups, reporting back to the Executive to help with decision making. The Executive is conscious that both mechanisms require careful attention to transparency and accountability issues. The year’s more important decisions are:- • Improvement to our system of purchasing and distribution of artworks and their use in the intervening period. These include short term loans, exhibitions and the possible appointment of a part-time curator to drive these forward and explore better collection use. • The establishment of a purchase reserve fund to assist Welsh institutions to access larger grant sources. • The appointment of Mr William Gibbs as Buyer for 2008 • The commissioning of a special Gregynog Studio book of essays and accompanying print portfolio to celebrate the Society’s 70th Anniversary.

Provenance: Displayed in the former home of Sir Kyffin Williams, RA in Beaumaris, Anglesey, Wales. Ref: 5527 TRINITY HOUSE MODERN | 35 HIGH STREET | BROADWAY | WR12 7DP | T: +44 (0)1386 859 329 WWW.TRINITYHOUSEPAINTINGS.COM FOREWORD I am delighted to present the works of Martyn Jones in his first solo exhibition, ‘Celebration of Welsh Contemporary Art’ at Trinity House Modern. Martyn studied under British artists Adrian Heath and Patrick Heron and his work encapsulates influences from several members of the St Ives School. He is a natural colourist and the visual imagery in his compositions successfully illustrate his focus in creating symbolic and naturalistic works. His paintings which are descriptive of landscape are now highly sought after. “I have always considered my work as belonging to a European tradition in painting. Some of my deepest influences lie with the work of Joan Miro, Marc Chagall, Wassily Kandinsky, Braque’s ‘Atelier Series’ and my mentor and tutor Patrick Heron. Primarily my work is about promoting the use of light and colour. I am interested in my work conveying a sense of immediacy and simplicity, with each painting employing a personal alphabet of shapes and symbols, enabling me to develop my own visual language. The crossover between figuration and abstraction and the connection with the world at large, has also been an important focus in my work. I like to vary the physicality of the surface in employing various painting techniques, such as blending, stippling, gestural areas of colour and use of line, in an attempt to create a ‘jewel like’ appearance.

  • $**\ S THREE BRITISH PAINTERS HITCHENS HERMAN DAVIE
    $**\ s THREE BRITISH PAINTERS HITCHENS HERMAN DAVIE tft^k- FOREWORD With this show we hope to begin a series of exhibitions introducing contemporary European painters to the New Zealand public with a rather greater representation than is possible in large mixed exhibitions. We are most grateful to the lenders, particularly to Gimpel Fils, Leicester Galleries and Messrs Roland Browse and Delbanco, for their generosity and ready co-operation. The exhibition is being toured through New Zealand with financial help from the Arts Advisory Council, and will be seen in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin. Mr C. McCahon, Keeper of the Gallery, has compiled the catalogue. INTRODUCTION These three artists, from different generations, represent three different trends in contemporary British painting. I von Hitchens, the doyen of this group, is the most easily recognisable as an English artist, for his landscapes are bedded quite firmly in the British Romantic tradition that commenced with the watercolours of Constable, Turner, and their contemporaries. The neo-romantic movement in British painting of the thirties and forties produced a group of such romantics — Nash, Sutherland, Piper, Hitchens, and others who sought for an expressive image in the landscape of England. Hitchens is probably the least literary of all these painters and his own theory of painting is derived from Kandinsky. Hitchens' long canvases are intended to develop this theory which can almost be seen as a harmonic and chromatic system of variations. Herman on the other hand, belongs to the central European tradition. His miners are essentially international figures — seen as monuments or monoliths of labour.
