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.

He was very impressed by it but did not know what it was about or why it 'struck-a-cord'.
I also thought it was an interesting painting but, equally, had no idea about it.
This lead us an stimulating discussion. Reading the description above it looks like I need to read DT's poem.
If anyone feels that they can comment on the painting I would like to hear their views.
Cheers!
