[generalNote]: Hanes gweinyddol / Braslun bywgraffyddol | Administrative history | Biographical sketch Nodyn | Note Ceri Giraldus Richards, artist, was born at Dunvant near Swansea. He studied at Swansea School of Art from 1920 to 1924 and from there won a scholarship to the Royal College of Art, which he attended from 1924 to 1927. It was here that he met Frances Clayton (1901-1985) from Stoke-on-Trent; they married in 1929 and Frances herself became a distinguished painter, graphic artist, draughtswoman and illustrator. Ceri Richards continued to live in London after graduating and became a leading contributor amongst the small group of artists who were interested in the international modern movement. In 1934 Richards began to make pictorial relief constructions assembled from pieces of wood, which were highly influenced by the work of Picasso and Hans Arp; later, he would use an eclectic variety of materials in the construction of reliefs which reflected the nature of the subjects. In 1939 Ceri and Frances Richards moved to Cardiff, where Ceri taught graphic art at Cardiff School of Art. He was also at this time commissioned by the Ministry of Information to record the South Wales tin-plate workers, which he did in a series of black Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru = The National Library of Wales Tudalen | Page 3 GB 0210 MSCERICH Ceri and Frances Richards MSS, and white ink drawings. During the post-war years, Richards was heavily influenced in his art by the poetical works of Dylan Thomas and, from the 1950s, he also worked for much of the time in lithograph and screen print. In 1964-5 he designed stained glass for Derby Cathedral and in 1965 was commissioned to design the Blessed Sacrament Chapel at Liverpool Roman Catholic Cathedral. Richards was appointed CBE in 1960 and awarded an honourary DLitt by the University of Wales the following year. He also won the Gold Medal at the Dyffryn Maelor National Eisteddfod of 1961 and the Einaudi prize for painting at the Venice Biennale of 1962-3. Ceri Richards died in London.

Where to find further information AMGUEDDFEYDD AC ORIELAU CENEDLAETHOL CYMRU NATIONAL MUSEUMS & GALLERIES OF WALES Ceri Richards Ceri Richards was born in Dunvant near Swansea in 1903. His father was a tin plate worker and music and poetry formed an important part of every day life. His father conducted the local choir and Ceri Richards was taught to play the piano. Aspects of this Welsh childhood, of music, poetry and nature influenced his art throughout his life. It became the source of inspiration for his painting, drawing, printmaking and constructions. On leaving secondary school he was apprenticed to an electrical engineer. He attended evening class to study engineering drawing. He soon realised that drawing not engineering was his main interest and became a full time student at the Swansea School of Art in 1921. It was during a Summer School in 1923 at Gregynog that Ceri Richards encountered for the first time modern art. Gregynog was the home of Gwendoline and Margaret Davies It was there that he saw for the first time works of art by great European artists. He was especially drawn to the work of Claude Monet. He then moved from Swansea to the Royal College of Art.

  • Cardiff and South Wales Monday 08 - Friday 12 May 2017
    Cardiff Castle Cardiff and South Wales Monday 08 - Friday 12 May 2017 MONDAY 08 MAY 2017 We will meet at Cardiff railway station at 13.00 (Royal Academy representatives will wait for the train arriving from London Paddington at 12.52). Our local coach will be waiting for us and after loading our luggage we will travel a short distance to Le Bistrot Pierre where lunch will be taken. This afternoon will begin with a visit to Llandaff Cathedral for an art and architecture guided tour focusing on the Cathedral’s intriguing mix of Norman, Early Gothic and modern architecture, and the wonderful Pre-Raphaelite art, Victorian and modern windows, with artist’s such as Rosetti, Burne Jones, Piper and Madox Brown represented. Located in the ancient “City of Llandaff”, now a suburb or Cardiff, the present cathedral dates from 1107 when Bishop Urban, the first Bishop appointed by the Normans, instigated the building of a much larger church, there already being an edifice on the site. The Cathedral was extended and widened and a new West front built in around 1220; the front is judged by many to be one of the two or three most notable mediaeval works of art and architecture in Wales. For over 200 years following the reign of King Henry VIII the building fell into a state of near-ruin, however, in the early 19th century, growing prosperity in the Diocese made possible a fresh restoration undertaken by J F Seddon and John Pritchard. Following our visit we will rejoin our coach for the short housing the debating chamber and three committee rooms for journey to the 4 star New House Country Hotel, where the National Assembly for Wales and also known as the we will check in for 4 nights’ accommodation.

  • Paintings by Streeter Blair (January 12–February 7)
    1960 Paintings by Streeter Blair (January 12–February 7) A publisher and an antique dealer for most of his life, Streeter Blair (1888–1966) began painting at the age of 61 in 1949. Blair became quite successful in a short amount of time with numerous exhibitions across the United States and Europe, including several one-man shows as early as 1951. He sought to recapture “those social and business customs which ended when motor cars became common in 1912, changing the life of America’s activities” in his artwork. He believed future generations should have a chance to visually examine a period in the United States before drastic technological change. This exhibition displayed twenty-one of his paintings and was well received by the public. Three of his paintings, the Eisenhower Farm loaned by Mr. & Mrs. George Walker, Bread Basket loaned by Mr. Peter Walker, and Highland Farm loaned by Miss Helen Moore, were sold during the exhibition. [Newsletter, memo, various letters] The Private World of Pablo Picasso (January 15–February 7) A notable exhibition of paintings, drawings, and graphics by Pablo Picasso (1881–1973), accompanied by photographs of Picasso by Life photographer David Douglas Duncan (1916– 2018). Over thirty pieces were exhibited dating from 1900 to 1956 representing Picasso’s Lautrec, Cubist, Classic, and Guernica periods. These pieces supplemented the 181 Duncan photographs, shown through the arrangement of the American Federation of Art. The selected photographs were from the book of the same title by Duncan and were the first ever taken of Picasso in his home and studio.

  • The Swansea Gang Written by Bernard Mitchell
    The Swansea Gang Written by Bernard Mitchell Reproduced with kind permission of Planet – The Welsh Internationalist Magazine (Article first published – Planet Issue 120) The accident of your place of birth is a funny thing. Who would think, when travelling down the valley through the grimy terraces of Plasmarl and the Hafod, that you would emerge to the freedom of the Bay and the ever-changing sea? Out of this magical place came a group of people whose creative talents would help to change our view of Wales. But the fact that they were all born in Swansea was not the only common factor. It was, more importantly, the poetry and friendship of Dylan Thomas which acted as a catalyst to their individual work. Perhaps this story should really start at “Ralph the Books”, Alexandra Road. Walking past the newspapers, cigarettes and washing line of dirty mags, I entered an Aladdin’s cave, past 1/- paperbacks into a darkly lit emporium where on a wall of books above a small paper sign stating “Welsh” hung a small oil of Dylan. This was my introduction to the man. I never met him in real life. Further down the road, opposite the Library and School of Art, is the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery; never changing, it stood then as a memorial to art, gilded portraits of the dead, and paperweights preserved in aspic. Out of this graveyard burst, with all the joy of spring, the work of Ceri Richards with his bright and erotic paintings. It was 29th of April 1965, my birthday.
