Bywyd a Gwaith yr Artist Ogwyn Davies / Ogwyn Davies: A Life in Art

More about the book

The first book to focus on the life and work of this important Welsh artist, this beautiful bilingual (English/Welsh) volume is illustrated throughout with images of Davies' work. Written in an accessible style, it looks in detail at his education, local area and influences, and highlights the importance of place, nature and the Welsh language to the Swansea-born artist. It focuses on his primarily on his paintings - initially visual and descriptive, before becoming more abstracted - but also discusses his drawings and ceramics, detailing his different techniques. Davies emerges from this process as a significant European artist.
