RICHARDS, Ceri
(Artist)
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.
