Welsh 1918-2006


Lower Thames Street, London, 1955;

 

oil on board, 41x31cm (ARR)

Provenance: Martin Tinney Gallery, Cardiff; Heal & Son Ltd, where purchased by the present owner.

Exhibition: 'Sir Kyffin Williams- Centenary Exhibitions' Martin Tinney Gallery, Cardiff 28 April- 2 June 2019

 

Note: This work is by the Welsh landscape painter Kyffin Williams, known for his instantly recognisable depictions of the British countryside. Williams typically applied thick layers of paint with a palette knife, using a muted palette of greys and greens to convey the dignified solemnity of the landscape, an approach which can be seen in this painting of Lower Thames Street in London. Williams has been described as one of the most significant forces in twentieth-century Welsh art, with his paintings shaping the style of those which followed. Whilst a senior art master at the Highgate School he taught future Royal Academicians Anthony Green and Patrick Procktor.

Williams was a member of the Royal Academy and the Royal Society of British Artists, and served as President of the Royal Cambrian Academy from 1969 to 1976, and from 1992. Williamss works were purchased by the National Library of Wales from the 1940s onwards, with other national institutions with works by Williams including the National Museum of Wales, the Arts Council Collection, and the Government Art Collection.

Lots 1 to 28 are the property of a private London collector.
