The 15th Annual Kyffin Williams Lecture: ‘The View from the South: Four Painters of Wales since 1945’ by Dr Ceri Thomas

This illustrated lecture will examine and celebrate a selection of paintings by four fascinating artists born within nine years of each other.  They are Joan Baker, Ogwyn Davies, Kyffin Williams and Ernest Zobole.  Collectively their artworks represent differing interpretations of modern and contemporary Wales.
