Kyffin Williams RA (1918-2006) is the central figure in contemporary Welsh painting and this book, the first monograph to be published on the artist, examines the full range of his work from the mid-1940's to 2004.

From the outset of his career, Kyffin took both the landscape and the people of North Wales as his subjects, and he remained faithful to them for almost sixty years. He realised through his oil paintings, his watercolours, and his drawings, the spirit of a mountainous landscape and its inhabitants that now forms the cornerstone upon which we understand and visualise the essence of North Wales.

Including an authoritative introductory essay by Ian Jeffrey, one of Britain's leading art historians, the book also profiles ten sites in North Wales, where the artist worked throughout his career. Inclusion of a range of location photographs by Nicholas Sinclair helps to explain both Kyffin's inspiration and how he interpreted the world around him.
