Provenance: Thackeray Gallery, London Private Collection, Dr. Gwilyn Wynne-Griffith (acquired from the above in 1985) Oriel Tegfryn Gallery, Anglesey Sale, Christie's, London, 20 March 2014, lot 132 Private Collection, Berkshire Exhibited: London, Thackeray Gallery, May 1985, no. 19 Cardiff, National Museum of Wales, Kyffin Williams, March-May 1987, no. 68 Sir Kyffin Williams remains one of Wales's most celebrated artists, renowned for his evocative landscapes that capture the rugged beauty and timeless allure of the Welsh countryside. Growing up on the Island of Anglesey, Williams experienced the often-turbulent conditions of the sea, extending his oeuvre beyond Welsh mountains and valleys and inspiring a series of works depicting the Welsh coastline. After being dismissed from the army following an epilepsy diagnosis in 1938, Williams took up art as suggested by his doctor. He enrolled in the Slade School of Fine Art in 1941 as a beginner and left having won the Slade Portrait Prize. Williams eventually returned to Wales, drawn by the element of melancholy in the dark hills, a melancholy he resonated with as he battled depression. This, combined with an eye condition which made it difficult to work in bright sunlight, led to a preference of painting stark, cloudy landscapes in muted tones. Central to the success of Williams' works is his masterful handling of light and texture. In Sea Mist, Williams adeptly captures the serene tranquillity of calm waters enveloped in mist, merging with the clouds above into a seamless expanse of soft, grey planes. Working in the location directly, Williams preferred to use palette-knives which enabled the impasto style which has become synonymous with his work.

Â§ SIR KYFFIN WILLIAMS, R.A. (BRITISH, 1918-2006) SIR KYFFIN WILLIAMS, R.A. (BRITISH, 1918-2006) Hill Farmer (Wil Ifan) signed with initials 'KW.' (lower right) and numbered '8' (verso) ink and wash 42 x 29.7 cm. (16 1/2 x 11 3/4 in.) Provenance With Thackeray Gallery, London, May 2006, where purchased by Simon Barnes Private Collection, from whom acquired by the present owner Executed in 1991, Sir Kyffin Williamâs drawing titled, Hill Farmer (Wil Ifan), captures a hill farmer, named âWil Ifanâ, William Evans. The work demonstrates the true essence of Williams interest in the Welsch landscape and those that resided within it. âPerhaps nothing defines Kyffin Williams as well as his drawings of old Welsh farmers and shepherdsâ¦Having grown up walking the mountains with them, it was to these men that the artist owed his intimate knowledge of the landscape and his profound love of it. His portrayals honour their integrity and tenacity, they show his respect.â (Rian Evan, Kyffin Williams: The Light and The Dark) This work is no exception, the farmer, despite being named, is an unidentifiable figure who as Williams himself described, âis always the man who lived amongst the rocks (â¦) part of our landscapeâ. In many such examples of these works on paper, his farmers are often hunched over a hazel stick. Williams himself remarked, âThe hazel stick is so much a part of the farmer in North Wales (â¦) Farmers lean on it, use it for balance when crossing a steep hillside and also for sorting out sheep. It is an invaluable piece of equipmentâ. Clearly noting the significance of the hazel stick and its prominence in his authentic depiction of hill farmers. In this specific work, this quote is perhaps most true, rather than showing Wil Ifan among the landscape, he stands alone and isolated, the hazel stick is placed so close to him, a vital part of his being.

Â§ SIR KYFFIN WILLIAMS, R.A. (BRITISH, 1918-2006) SIR KYFFIN WILLIAMS, R.A. (BRITISH, 1918-2006) Storm over Snowdon from Llanllyfni signed with initials 'KW' (lower right) oil on canvas 56.2 x 76.8 cm. (22 1/8 x 30 1/4 in.) Provenance The artist, from whom purchased by Private Collection Their Sale; Christie's, London, 7 October 2008, lot 96, where purchased by the present owner Kyffin Williams rugged landscapes and vivid portraits became emblems of Welshness. The artistâs moody and deeply atmospheric portrayal of Storm over Snowdon from Llanllyfni, the highest point in the British Isles outside of the Scottish Highlands, captures Williams dedication to realistic portrayals of climatic landscapes. The painting captures the dominant force of nature over man, and it this case, âthe artistsâ relationship with it. In his works, nature is always a dominating force, it consumes the composition. Such is the case with this painting, its framing enables us to feel amongst the landscape, with stormy skies governing the background and muddy peaks central to the foreground. It is almost impossible to divorce his rendering of such unpredictably harsh and rugged scenes with that of his own mental state. There is undoubtably an anxiety within many of his works, not only in their isolated subject matters but too in his practice and processes. The uneasiness expressed in his works might have been rooted in many documented experiences a man suffering with epilepsy, losing consciousness, âwithout warning, in the mountains of Wales or on the London Underground I would hear musicâ. In this work in particularly, he captures a storm, it comes with little warning, for a moment in time creating much disorientation.

Â§ SIR KYFFIN WILLIAMS, R.A. (BRITISH, 1918-2006) SIR KYFFIN WILLIAMS, R.A. (BRITISH, 1918-2006) Llanrhyddlad signed with initials 'KW' (lower right) and titled 'LLANRHYDDLAD' (on the frame verso) oil on canvas 41 x 55.5 cm. (16 1/8 x 21 7/8 in.) Provenance Acquired from the artist through Tegfryn Art Gallery, Anglesey, by the family of the present owner Kyffin Williamsâ prominence both among native Welsh patrons and nationwide is reflected in his personal and artistic achievements. He became a Royal Academician in 1974 at the age of 80 and received a Knighthood in 1982, both recognition of his contribution to Modern British Art and the success he experienced in later life. His works became so familiar, and instantly recognisable that his paintings were often referred to as âKyffinsâ. In the case of this painting, Kyffin depicts Llanrhyddlad, a hamlet in north-west Wales. It was a place in which he explored on several occasions, his other version, a drawing with the same title. 'My mountains and my farm houses were their mountains and their farm houses. They knew my stone cottages and the people who lived in them and they bought my pictures because they represented what they knew and loved.â - Sir Kyffin Williams In the painting, he displays houses embedded among the hills. The houses which make up this remote village are as much a part of the landscape as the green hills they lie on. Like in many of his works grey, murky and thickly clouded sky dominates over half of the composition, perhaps a result of the difficulty the artist had working under bright sunlight potentially a result of his epilepsy. Fascinatingly, the image recto is starkly contrasted to the work verso, disregarded by the artist, as the canvas was re-purposed, with a complete work recto, it displays both the considered nature of Kyffinâs practice and his commitment to portraying a variety of landscapes, âthe hills of his boyhoodâ.

§ Sir Kyffin Williams O.B.E. R.A. (British 1918-2006) Rhosgadfan titled (to reverse), oil on canvas (51cm x 61cm (20in x 24in)) Provenance Purchased directly from the Artist by the family of the present owner. ‘Houses are important for an understanding of…[Williams’]…art. They are, of course, Welsh houses but their Welshness is not necessarily part of their meaning. Neo-classical and Georgian houses, with their proportional systems, were designed to frame and show off the human body in doorways, at windows and on balconies….Welsh houses, of the kind noted by the painter, seem however to function as shelters, almost as caves transported into the open air…their walls are thick and their roofing heavy. Such houses open into the fields – small walled tracts dwarfed by the surrounding scenery…Rhosgadfan lies to the southeast of Caernarfon, within a network of small fields. Its inhabitants worked in the slate quarries of Moel Tryfan to the east of the village. In…[the 1998 book]…The Land and the Sea, Kyffin Williams remarks on how ‘paintable’ he has always found the slate tips of Rhosgadfan, Carmel and Cesarea: the forbidding bulk of the tips contrasts with the intimacy of the nearby cottages.’ (Ian Jeffrey and Nicholson Sinclair, 2004) [Nicholas Sinclair and Ian Jeffrey Sinclair, Kyffin Williams, Lund Humphries, Aldershot, 2004, pp.14 and 103]
