LECTURE Kyffin Williams & R S Thomas – Attitudes to Wales and To
LECTURE Kyffin Williams & R S Thomas – Attitudes to Wales and to Faith Some of you here tonight will probably be thinking that to speak about a poet and an artist in the same lecture is a bit like comparing apples to oranges, especially from somebody who cannot claim to be either an artist or poet. Now, I know that bishops of past generations were great patrons of the arts and indeed employed both poets and artists, but I am afraid those days are long gone – Ichabod, the glory has departed. And as I said when I opened the summer exhibition at the Royal Cambrian Academy one year, when Kyffin was its president, I never ever got more than 20% for my artwork and to the relief of my teachers, gave it up in my second year at grammar school. The only comment I ever got was “Will never be any good but tries his best”. So I am no artist and have never tried to write poetry. 1 So then, why speak about an artist and poet? Well, both were famous Welshmen, one born in Llangefni and the other in Cardiff; both had an enormous affinity and love for Wales, its landscape and history, especially North Wales and they both lived at different times in Chirk, on the Lleyn peninsula, Meirionnydd and Anglesey and they were born within a few years of one another – R S Thomas in 1913 so it is his centenary year and Kyffin in 1918. Both lived into their 80’s. R S was 87 when he died in 2000 and Kyffin was 88 when he died in 2006.

Mr Edwin Arthur Norbury elected chairman, Cambrian Academy of Art, Mr Charles Potter elected Vice Chairman Attendees Mr E A Norbury, Mr G Hayes, Mr A Hague, Mr C Potter, Mr W Meredith, Mr W L Banks, Mr J Johnson. 26.11.1881 second Meeting at Llandudno Junction Hotel Attendees Norbury, Hague, Potter, Artingstall, Meredith, Mort, Hayes and Banks 26.11.1881 Second meeting ‘Prospectus ‘ agreed : ‘ The Royal Academy and other Institutions of a similar character are long established, including the Royal Hibernian in Ireland and the Scottish Academy, but Wales has hitherto felt the want of a kindred society. Therefore it has been resolved to establish The Cambrian Academy of Art in the hope that such an institution will give an impetus to the further development of art in connection with the Principality.’ Objectives also agreed included Exhibition of works of professional members, honorary members, associates and students, held annually in summer at Llandudno that place being the art centre of the Principality. Exhibition confined to artists resident in or who have studied in Wales – with the exception of such artists as may have been invited by the society. Proposed that the subscription would be one Guinea It was resolved that 500 copies of the Prospectus be printed and forwarded to all artists in or connected with the principality (and amongst lovers of art who are likely to become patrons). Resolved that the ‘members’ present at the first two meetings be appointed as Executive Council.
