Bard Attitude
The artist is pictured in a dramatic landscape, a harp perched precariously on a rocky outcrop above a river. His robes and fake white beard blow in the breeze. Williams draws on Philip James de Loutherbourg (1740-1812) and his iconic image of The Bard in a playful comment on constructions of Welsh identity and history.
