Storm, Porth Cwyfan
WILLIAMS, John Kyffin
© The National Library of Wales/Amgueddfa Cymru - Museum Wales
The bay of Porth Cwyfan is on Anglesey, where Kyffin Williams lived from the 1970s until his death. The painting displays Williams’s well-known technique, that of thick, monochrome impasto, broadly applied with a palette knife. It is used here to evoke the drama of a rough sea.
