Glyn Morgan at Eighty

Résumé du livre

Published to coincide with Retrospective exhibitions at National Library of Wales, Cardiff January 2006 and Chappel Galleries Eightieth Birthday Exhibition - Retrospective 29th April to 21st May 2006. Glyn Morgan paints pictures that stay in the memory. Enigmatic and allusive, they can leave the viewer pondering their true meaning, questioning what was in the artist's mind when he first put brush to canvas. This is not surprising, as the influences and inspirations drawn on in over 60 years dedicated to painting have been unusually varied. Although he has lived mostly in England, Morgan's Welsh origins remain important. As a young man he studied at Cardiff College of Art under another Welshman, Ceri Richards, whom he considered a marvellous teacher. During these early years Morgan painted fine studies of the industrial landscape around where he had been born in Pontypridd, at the junction of the Taff and Rhondda valleys.
