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))

Mae'r llifeiriant hwn o ffurfiau dynol, anifeilaidd a llysieuol yn ein hatgoffa o dirluniau Swreal gan Max Ernst. Mae Richards hefyd yn archwilio delweddau gweledol sy'n dod â cherdd Dylan Thomas 'The force that through the green fuse drives the flower' i'r cof. Ym 1945 cafodd ei gomisiynu i ddarlunio'r gerdd yn 'Poetry London', a gwnaeth dri lithograff gan ymgorffori'r testun cyfan.
