Artist: RICHARDS, Ceri Giraldus (Education: Swansea School of Art; Royal College of Art Work: Cardiff College of Art; Chelsea School of Art; Royal College of Art; Slade School of Art Awards: CBE, 1960; Hon. D.Litt University of Wales, 1961; Hon.Fellow of the RCA Commissions: stained glass windows for Liverpool Cathedral and Derby Cathedral The landscape of the Gower was a strong source of imagery - much of his work was also inspired by poetry and music: a crowning achievement was the series of paintings and construction on the theme of Debussy's La Cathedrale Engloutie (The Sunken Cathedral))

Ganed Richards yn Nynfant a bu'n astudio yn Ysgol Gelfyddyd Abertawe a'r Coleg Brenhinol. Un o'i gyd-fyfyrwyr yno oedd Frances Clayton (1901-85) a phriododd y ddau ym 1929. Maged Richards mewn teulu cerddorol, ac mae cerddoriaeth yn thema sy'n codi'n aml yn ei waith. Yma mae ei wraig yn sefyll wrth y piano. Mae arddull y portread yn ein hatgoffa o Matisse, a fuasai'n ddylanwad mawr ar yr arlunydd er 1924.

Born in Dunvant, Richards studied at Swansea School of Art and the Royal College. There a fellow student was Frances Clayton (1901-85), whom he married in 1929. Richards was brought up in a musical family and music is a recurrent theme in his art. Here his wife poses beside a piano. The style of this portrait is reminiscent of Matisse, a major influence on the artist since 1924.
