| Ceri Richards was born in
1903 at Dunvant, near Swansea, of a Welsh-speaking family where
music and poetry, always influences on his work, were positively
encouraged.
He was an artist of great versatility, able
to absorb many influences without sacrificing his originality. From
1933, under the influence of Picasso, he worked on a series of relief
constructions and assemblages which were described by John Rothenstein
as 'original creations of a rare order, and unlike anything else
done in Britain at the time'). Much of his work was inspired by
his love of music and the poetry of Dylan Thomas.
We have many of his original prints and paintings
for sale on this site.
