The View Welcome to the third and final edition of 2025

As we approach the summit of 2025, we take a look back at an exciting year at Rogers Jones & Co. It has been a year of significant stand-alone auctions, record Welsh Sales and a notable expansion through acquisition.

The first stand-alone sale was on March 13th when collectors from around Europe competed for the principal contents Plas Teg. It was a fiercely competed affair with all lots selling on the day. Then we were immensely proud to be instructed by the family of the late JPR Williams to sell the great full-back’s rugby union jerseys which was again a ‘white glove sale’ culminating with a hammer price of £27,500 for JPR’s 1973 Barbarians jersey .

In late summer the incredible Phillip Clarkson collection acted as the final swansong for Pullman House in Chester, the venue which has been Adrian Byrne’s auction house for the last twenty years, before Byrnes were acquired by us in April of this year.

The Phillip Clarkson Collection: An Eye for Design was expertly put together and catalogued by Adrian and I am sure the late-Mr Clarkson would have been very pleased.

Richard Hughes then joined Adrian on the rostrum for a most memorable two day auction in early September.

Those who were lucky enough to view the sale would have seen Pullman House rammed full of eclectic treasures, from Whitefriars and Murano glass, to Goldscheider ceramics, vintage travel posters, British Railway signs, guitars, music memorabilia, enamel signs, sculpture, and over 700 items of Poole pottery! It was mind-blowing mid-Century heaven!

Remarkably out of the 1000+ lots only one failed to sell!

A testament to Mr Clarkson’s astute eye and the experience and knowhow of Adrian and the team in Chester. There were too many items that surpassed all expectations to mention, but the appearance of all that ‘design’ in one room 4

at Pullman House was the greatest success and will stay in my memory for a long time as I am sure it will for Adrian Byrne who mused; “The auction formed a swansong for us at Pullman House, which has been my Byrnes of Chester home for the last 19 or so years. Fittingly, I had been taught art

by Philip Clarkson before I decided on a career in fine art auctioneering. Later Philip would become a great loyal customer of mine at Byrnes. So the relationship was reignited after many years, passion was shared once again.

I never stopped learning from Philip Clarkson.”

Pullman House is now closed as the site is redeveloped to become a McDonalds. But just around the corner is our new bespoke designed Chester saleroom at 6, Central Trading Estate. And while we do not offer drive-thru assessments (yet), if I do so say so myself, No.6 is a fabulous space. The rooms are designed with modern auctioneering in mind.

The space will enable efficient service for every visitor, whether that be to view auctions, to collect items from other sales, or to receive an assessment. At the time of writing we will have already had an auction of British & European Fine Art that resulted in some fabulous prices for paintings and sculpture. Many of those who viewed the auction spoke very positively of the new Chester saleroom.

We now look forward to 2026 with regular monthly auctions at three venues (Chester, Colwyn Bay and Cardiff), together with a bi-monthly auction of Jewellery, Coins & Watches and three seasonal auctions in the form of the Club House and British & European Fine Art. More exciting times ahead in 2026 I am sure!

Best Wishes, Ben Rogers Jones

Bwrw Golwg Croeso i drydydd rhifyn ac un olaf 2025

Wrth i ni agosáu at gopa 2025, rydym yn edrych yn ôl ar flwyddyn gyffrous i gwmni Rogers Jones. Mae wedi bod yn flwyddyn o arwerthiannau annibynnol sylweddol, Arwerthiannau Cymreig llwyddiannus iawn ac ehangu nodedig trwy brynu busnes arall.

Roedd yr awerthiant annibynnol cyntaf ar Fawrth 13eg pan roedd casglwyr o bob cwr o Ewrop yn cystadlu am brif gynnwys Plas Teg. Roedd yn fater cystadleuol iawn gyda phob eitem yn gwerthu ar y diwrnod. Yna, roeddem yn hynod falch o gael ein cyfarwyddo gan deulu’r diweddar JPR Williams i werthu crysau rygbi’r cefnwr gwych a oedd unwaith eto’n ‘arwerthiant maneg wen’ a gyrhaeddodd ei anterth wrth i grys JPR o dîm y Barbariaid ym 1973 werthu am bris morthwyl o £27,500.

Ar ddiwedd yr haf, roedd casgliad anhygoel Phillip Clarkson yn ddiweddglo cymwys i Tŷ Pullman yng Nghaer, lleoliad sydd wedi bod yn dŷ arwerthiant Adrian Byrne am yr ugain mlynedd diwethaf, cyn i ni brynu Byrnes ym mis Ebrill eleni.

Cafodd Casgliad Phillip Clarkson: Llygad am Ddylunio ei lunio a’i gatalogio’n arbenigol gan Adrian ac rwy’n siŵr y byddai’r diweddar Mr Clarkson wedi bod yn falch iawn. Fe ymunodd Richard Hughes ag Adrian ar y rostrwm ar gyfer ocsiwn deuddydd cofiadwy iawn ddechrau mis Medi.

Byddai’r rhai a oedd yn ddigon ffodus i weld yr arwerthiant wedi gweld Tŷ Pullman yn llawn trysorau eclectig, o wydr Whitefriars a Murano, i serameg Goldscheider, posteri teithio hen ffasiwn, arwyddion Rheilffordd Prydeinig, gitarau, memorabilia cerddoriaeth, arwyddion enamel, cerfluniau, a dros 700 o eitemau o grochenwaith Poole! Roedd yn nefoedd o eitemau canol y ganrif ddiwethaf!

Yn rhyfeddol, o’r 1000+ o eitemau, dim ond un wnaeth ddim gwerthu! Tyst i lygad craff Mr Clarkson a phrofiad a gwybodaeth Adrian a’r tîm yng Nghaer. Roedd gormod o eitemau a ragorodd ar bob disgwyliadau i’w crybwyll yma, ond yr olygfa anhygoel o’r holl ‘design’ mewn un ystafell yn Nhŷ Pullman oedd y llwyddiant mwyaf a bydd yn aros

yn fy nghof am amser hir, yn yr un modd ag y bydd i Adrian Byrne, a fyfyriodd; “Roedd yr arwerthiant yn gân ffarwel i ni yn Nhŷ Pullman, sydd wedi bod yn gartref i mi yn ‘Byrnes of Chester’ am y 19 mlynedd diwethaf neu fwy. Yn briodol, roeddwn i wedi cael gwersi celf gan Philip Clarkson cyn i mi benderfynu ar yrfa mewn arwerthu celfyddyd gain. Yn ddiweddarach, byddai Philip yn dod yn gwsmer ffyddlon iawn i mi yn Byrnes. Felly, roedd y berthynas wedi’i ailgynnau ar ôl blynyddoedd lawer, ac roedd angerdd yn cael ei rannu unwaith eto. Wnes i ‘rioed stopio dysgu gan Philip Clarkson.”

Mae Tŷ Pullman bellach ar gau wrth i’r safle gael ei ailddatblygu i ddod yn McDonalds. Ond nepell o’r safle, o amgylch y gornel. mae ein hystafell arwerthu newydd, sydd wedi’i chynllunio’n bwrpasol, yn 6, Ystâd Fasnachu Ganolog, Caer. Ac er nad ydym yn cynnig asesiadau gyrrudrwodd (eto), mae Rhif 6 yn ofod gwych, os caf i ddweud hynny fy hun? Mae’r ystafelloedd wedi’u cynllunio gydag arwerthiannau modern mewn golwg. Bydd y gofod yn galluogi gwasanaeth effeithiol i bob ymwelydd, boed hynny i weld arwerthiannau, i gasglu eitemau o arwerthiannau eraill, neu i dderbyn asesiad. Ar adeg ysgrifennu hwn, byddwn eisoes wedi cael arwerthiant o Gelfyddyd Gain Brydeinig ac Ewropeaidd yno a arweiniodd at rai prisiau gwych am baentiadau a cherfluniau. Siaradodd llawer o’r rhai a welodd yr arwerthiant yn gadarnhaol iawn am yr ystafell arwerthu newydd yng Nghaer.

Rydym yn edrych ymlaen nawr at 2026 gydag arwerthiannau misol rheolaidd mewn tair lleoliad (Caer, Bae Colwyn a Chaerdydd), ynghyd ag arwerthiant bob deufis o Emwaith, Darnau Arian ac Oriorau a thri arwerthiant tymhorol ar ffurf Y Clwb a Chelf Gain Brydeinig ac Ewropeaidd.

Mwy o gyfnodau cyffrous o’n blaenau yn 2026, rwy’n siŵr!

Review The Welsh Sale – Summer 2025

Summer’s Welsh Sale was arranged into two bite sized chunks with the first part held for the second time at Gregynog Hall. The Hall’s location offering convenience for viewers from many parts of Wales and further afield whilst the house’s wonderful gardens and history adding to the ambience of a mid-summer sale. The second part of The Welsh Sale was conducted from our conventional home in Cardiff.

The sell through was especially pleasing with 89% of lots finding new homes across the two parts. Evidently the interest in Welsh art and Welsh heritage continues to boom and we are proud to be at the forefront of this thriving market.

The Top 10 prices are unsurprisingly dominated by Sir Kyffin Williams with no less than forty-nine associated lots on offer with all of them selling except a single print and a book, this included ten oil paintings. However, the Top 10 hammer prices dominated by Kyffin, only tell part of the story.

Valerie Ganz (1936-2015) There are several Welsh artists who forever will be associated with capturing the coal mining of South Wales; there is Nicholas Evans (1907-2004) and his dark apocalyptic scenes of figures amassed like huge labours of moles. Then there is Vincent Evans (1896-1976) a former miner himself who started as a coal-miner at thirteen years old and then in the 1930s went on to create a substantial body of work depicting the lives of miners, their families and the industrial scenes around them. But the importance of Valerie Ganz’s mining work lies in its relative modernity, most were painted in the 1980s during times of significant change - strikes and pre-mass pit closures. The mining communities of the South Wales valleys can no longer be described as such and so her work is an important artistic documentary on the setting sun of an industry that shaped lives, landscapes and communities for generations and Valerie Ganz’s work has an appropriate ghostly quality. It is perhaps underappreciated that Valerie Ganz ventured underground with her materials to sketch these mining scenes, In doing so, she would have likely been the only female and the conditions harsh and uncomfortable. Valerie Ganz’s mining work tells us much about her character.

Rogers Jones & Co

Ceri Richards There were a strong showing of Ceri Richards (1903-1971) works in the Summer Welsh Sale. The leading example being ‘The Stork’, a mixed media illustration for Dylan Thomas’ poem of the same name. There was plenty of symbolism in this surreal arrangement; towering stork together with another bird, reclining nude and with added gothic motifs of white blossom and skull-form vase. Dylan Thomas inspired works by the artist are among those consistently collected from Ceri Richard’s oeuvre. And at a hammer price of £9000, The Stork is the secondhighest Thomas-themed work sold at auction. In a strange coincidence another similar Stork composition by Richards has been entered for this November Welsh Sale – a crazy and innocent coincidence with the vendor of the latest Stork completely unaware of the one sold in July’s Welsh Sale. I am not sure what two storks flying in to auction symbolises!

David Jones Letters The highest price in Welsh Sale Part II was a trio of handwritten personal letters from the poet and artist David Jones (18951974). They came with charming ink doodles in the margin including of churches which were reminiscent of his black-line engravings for which he is celebrated. Aptly Christianity and faith gave form to much of Jones’ work in poetry and pictures. So, the intimate letters offered academic collectors an insight to David Jones’ musings but also offered a chance to acquire original drawings from one of 20th Century British Art’s most enigmatic figures. The letters realised £1800 after a battle with multiple bidders from around the UK.

Donald McIntyre

Gwilym Prichard Those who follow our auctions will know that it has been quite a year for Gwilym Prichard (1931-2015) at auction. By my calculation we have sold over 120 examples this year. As a result, one might expect the prices to falter, but this was not the case in July’s Welsh Sale and especially in the case of ‘Sea and Farm’. This oil painting was full of texture and impasto loveliness; the colour of the sea in stunning cobalt, the land earthy and rugged while the paint application in the sky gentle creating a dramatic comparison. On the edge of the cliff a desolate farm with one of Gwilym’s trademark gusty trees. But the icing on the cake was the provenance for this example. It was one of six oils by the artist to have been entered by a London family, and all the paintings had been purchased from Heal’s in Tottenham Court Road in the early 1970s by the family. ‘Sea & Farm’, as with the others from the vendor, came in fresh condition with the original mid-Century Heal’s frame in tip-top condition.

Former dentist turned artist, the late Donald McIntyre (1923-2009) made a significant contribution to Welsh Sale Part I at Gregynog Hall. There were as many as seventeen examples in the auction and all of them got away with several selling considerably higher than the pre-sale guides.

McIntyre’s work evolved over the decades from earthy impasto to electric acrylic and both genres are selling exceptionally well. Donald McIntyre’s work is as popular as it ever and bids came from all corners of the UK. We were especially grateful to receive one acrylic by McIntyre all the way from Melbourne, Australia. This painting arriving in good time in a well packed box without any issues. The vendor stated that he had ‘done his research’ and felt that Rogers Jones & Co had the best track record for the artist.

It is always very pleasing to receive Welsh themed paintings and Welsh objects from overseas to demonstrate how well The Welsh Sale has developed since its inception twenty or so years ago.

Sir Kyffin WIlliams Finally, Sir Kyffin Williams (19182006) in numbers! In our two Welsh Sales so far in 2025, we have offered ninety-eight works with ninety-one of them selling successfully on the day.

Sixteen oils by Sir Kyffin have been offered in the same period at these two Welsh Sales and all of them have sold. According to the-saleroom.com twenty-one oil paintings by Sir Kyffin Williams have been offered at auctions in 2025, with sixteen of them at The Welsh Sale. The highest price for a painting by Kyffin this year was the smallish oil ‘Farmer Below the Ridge’ which graced the front cover of the Summer Welsh Sale. As of October 2025, we retain the top three hammer-prices ever recorded for Sir Kyffin’s work and two of these prices have been achieved in the last four years.

Yr Arwerthiant Cymreig – Haf 2025 Fe gafodd Arwerthiant Cymreig yr haf ei dorri’n ddau ddarn gyda’r rhan gyntaf yn cael ei chynnal yn Neuadd Gregynog, am yr eildro. Roedd lleoliad y Neuadd yn cynnig cyfleustra i wylwyr o sawl rhan o Gymru a thu hwnt, tra bod gerddi a hanes hyfryd y tŷ yn ychwanegu at awyrgylch arwerthiant canol haf. Cynhaliwyd ail ran yr Arwerthiant Cymreig o’n cartref confensiynol yng Nghaerdydd.

Roeddem yn hynod o bles gyda chyfanswm y nifer a werthwyd, gyda 89% o eitemau’n dod o hyd i gartrefi newydd ar draws y ddwy ran. Yn amlwg, mae’r diddordeb mewn celf a threftadaeth Cymreig yn parhau i ffynnu ac rydym yn falch o fod ar flaen y gad yn y farchnad lewyrchus hon.

Nid yw’n syndod mai gwaith Syr Kyffin Williams oedd yn rhagori yn y 10 pris uchaf gyda dim llai na 49 o eitemau cysylltiedig ar werth. Gwerthwyd pob un ohonynt ag eithrio un print a llyfr, roedd hyn yn cynnwys deg paentiad olew.

Fodd bynnag, mae’r ffaith bod Kyffin yn flaenllaw yn y 10 pris morthwyl uchaf ‘mond yn adrodd rhan o’r stori.

Valerie Ganz (1936-2015) Mae sawl artist Cymreig a fydd yn cael eu cysylltu bob tro â chyfleu y cloddio am lo yn Ne Cymru; mae Nicholas Evans (1907-2004) a’i olygfeydd tywyll apocalyptaidd o ffigurau wedi’u casglu fel grwp enfawr o dyrchod daear. Yna mae Vincent Evans (1896-1976) cyn-löwr ei hun a ddechreuodd fel glöwr yn dair ar ddeg oed ac yna yn y 1930au, aeth ymlaen i greu corff sylweddol o waith yn darlunio bywydau glowyr, eu teuluoedd a’r golygfeydd diwydiannol o’u cwmpas. Ond mae pwysigrwydd gwaith mwyngloddio Valerie Ganz yn deillio o’i foderniaeth gymharol, peintiwyd y rhan fwyaf yn y 1980au yn ystod cyfnodau o newid sylweddol - streiciau a chau pyllau. Ni ellir disgrifio cymunedau glofaol cymoedd y De fel y cyfryw bellach ac felly mae ei gwaith yn ddogfen artistig bwysig ar fachlud haul diwydiant a luniodd fywydau, tirweddau a chymunedau am genedlaethau ac mae gan waith Valerie Ganz ansawdd ysbrydol priodol. Efallai nad yw’n cael ei werthfawrogi’n ddigonol bod Valerie Ganz wedi mentro o dan y ddaear gyda’i deunyddiau i fraslunio’r golygfeydd glofaol hyn. Wrth wneud hynny, mae’n debyg mai hi fyddai’r unig fenyw a’r amodau’n llym ac yn anghyfforddus. Mae gwaith glofaol Valerie Ganz yn dweud llawer wrthym am ei chymeriad.

Ceri Richards Roedd arddangosfa gref o weithiau Ceri Richards (19031971) yn Arwerthiant Cymreig yr haf. Yr enghraifft orau oedd ‘Y Crëyr’, darlun cyfrwng cymysg ar gyfer cerdd Dylan Thomas o’r un enw. Roedd digon o symbolaeth yn y trefniant swreal hwn; crëyr yn sefyll uwchlaw aderyn arall, person yn gorwedd yn noeth, a chyda motiffiau Gothig o flodau gwyn a fâs siâp penglog. Mae gweithiau gan yr artist sydd wedi’u hysbrydoledi gan Dylan Thomas, ymhlith y rhai a gesglir yn gyson o gyfanwaith Ceri Richards. Ac am bris morthwyl o £9000, ‘Y Crëyr’ yw’r ail waith uchaf ar thema Dylan Thomas a werthwyd mewn ocsiwn. Mewn cyd-ddigwyddiad rhyfedd, mae cyfansoddiad arall tebyg o grëyr gan Richards wedi’i gyflwyno ar gyfer yr Arwerthiant Cymreig ym mis Tachwedd – cyd-ddigwyddiad gwallgof a diniwed gyda gwerthwr y crëyr diweddaraf yn gwbl anymwybodol o’r un a werthwyd yn Arwerthiant Cymreig fis Gorffennaf. Dydw i ddim yn siŵr beth mae dau grëyr yn hedfan i mewn i’r ocsiwn yn ei symboleiddio!

Gwilym Prichard Bydd y rhai sy’n dilyn ein harwerthiannau yn gwybod ei bod wedi bod yn dipyn o flwyddyn i weithiau Gwilym Prichard (1931-2015) mewn arwerthiant. Yn ôl fy nghyfrifiad i, rydym wedi gwerthu dros 120 o enghreifftiau eleni. O ganlyniad, byddai rhai yn disgwyl i’r prisiau arafu, ond doedd hyn ddim yn wir yn Arwerthiant Cymreig mis Gorffennaf ac yn enwedig

Rogers Jones & Co

Donald McIntyre

yn achos ‘Môr a Fferm’. Roedd y paentiad olew hwn yn llawn gwead ac impasto hardd; lliw’r môr mewn glas llachar, y tir yn ddaearol a garw tra bod y paent yr awyr wedi’i daenu’n ysgafn gan greu cymhariaeth ddramatig. Ar ymyl y clogwyn mae fferm unig gydag un o goed nodweddiadol Gwilym yn hyrddio yn y gwynt. Ond yr eisin ar y gacen oedd tarddiad yr enghraifft hon. Roedd yn un o chwe olew gan yr artist a gyflwynwyd gan deulu o Lundain, ac roedd yr holl baentiadau wedi’u prynu gan Heal’s yn Tottenham Court Road ddechrau’r 1970au gan y teulu. Daeth ‘Môr & Fferm’ atom, megis y gweddill gan y gwerthwr, mewn cyflwr ffres gyda ffrâm wreiddiol Heal’s o ganol y Ganrif mewn cyflwr perffaith.

David Jones Letters Fe aeth y pris uchaf yn yr Ail Arwerthiant Cymreig am driawd o lythyrau personol wedi’u hysgrifennu â llaw gan y bardd a’r artist David Jones (1895-1974). Daethant gyda dwdlau inc hyfryd ar ymylon y tudalennau gan gynnwys o eglwysi a oedd yn atgoffa rhywun o’i engrafiadau llinell ddu adnabyddus. Yn briodol iawn, rhoddodd Cristnogaeth a ffydd ffurf i lawer o waith Jones mewn barddoniaeth a lluniau. Felly, roedd y llythyrau personol yn cynnig cipolwg i gasglwyr academaidd ar fyfyrdodau David Jones ond hefyd yn cynnig cyfle i gael gafael ar ddarluniau gwreiddiol gan un o ffigurau mwyaf enigmatig Celf Prydain yr 20fed Ganrif.

Gwerthwyd y llythyrau am £1800 ar ôl brwydr gyda nifer o gynigwyr o bob cwr o’r DU.

Donald McIntyre Gwnaeth y diweddar Donald McIntyre (1923-2009), cyn-ddeintydd a drodd yn artist, gyfraniad sylweddol i Ran I yr Arwerthiant Cymreig yn Neuadd Gregynog.

Roedd cymaint â dwy ar bymtheg o enghreifftiau yn yr ocsiwn a llwyddodd pob un ohonynt i werthu gyda nifer yn gwerthu’n sylweddol uwch na’r amcanbrisiau. Esblygodd gwaith McIntyre dros y degawdau o impasto daearol i acrylig trydanol ac mae’r ddau genre yn gwerthu’n eithriadol o dda. Mae gwaith Donald McIntyre mor boblogaidd ag erioed a daeth cynigion o bob cwr o’r DU. Roeddem yn arbennig o ddiolchgar o dderbyn un acrylig gan McIntyre yr holl ffordd o Melbourne, Awstralia. Cyrhaeddodd y paentiad hwn mewn da bryd mewn blwch wedi’i bacio’n dda heb unrhyw broblemau. Dywedodd y gwerthwr ei fod wedi ‘gwneud ei ymchwil’ a’i fod o’r farn bod gan gwmni Rogers Jones y record orau ar gyfer yr artist. Mae bob amser yn bleser mawr derbyn paentiadau â thema Gymreig a gwrthrychau Cymreig o dramor i ddangos pa mor dda y mae’r Arwerthiant Cymreig wedi datblygu ers ei sefydlu ugain mlynedd a mwy yn ôl.

Sir Kyffin WIlliams O’r diwedd, Syr Kyffin Williams (1918-2006) mewn niferoedd! Yn ein dau Arwerthiant Cymreig hyd yn hyn yn 2025, rydym wedi cynnig naw deg wyth o weithiau gyda naw deg un ohonynt yn gwerthu’n llwyddiannus ar y diwrnod. Cynigiwyd un deg chwech o olewau gan Syr Kyffin yn yr un cyfnod yn y ddau Arwerthiant Cymreig hyn ac mae pob un ohonynt wedi gwerthu. Yn ôl the-saleroom. com, cynigiwyd un ar hugain o baentiadau olew gan Syr Kyffin Williams mewn arwerthiannau yn 2025, gydag un deg chwech ohonynt yn ein Harwerthiant Cymreig. Y pris uchaf am baentiad gan Kyffin eleni oedd yr olew bychan, ‘Ffermwr Islaw’r Grib’ a oedd yn addurno clawr blaen Arwerthiant Cymreig yr haf. Ers mis Hydref 2025, rydym yn cadw’r tri phris morthwyl uchaf a gofnodwyd erioed ar gyfer gwaith Syr Kyffin ac mae dau o’r prisiau hyn wedi’u cyrraedd yn y pedair blynedd diwethaf.

“I always … wondered what life was like inside” Valerie Ganz, a Passionate Observer

South Walian artist Valerie Ganz (1936-2015) is now most widely remembered for her portraits of coal miners in their work environment, a theme for which she expressed a “special fascination.” And yet, as some of the works in the present auction demonstrate, Ganz’s output is considerably more diverse.

“Over the years I have studied various subjects,” Ganz summed up her remarkable career in 2012, three years before her death. She spent twelve months among students at the Central School of Ballet in London and accompanied the Moscow State Circus as it toured the UK. She also worked on oil rigs in the Patagonian Desert and created an intimate record of life inside Swansea Prison.

Wide-ranging as her interests were, Ganz’s oeuvre is defined by her inquisitive nature and unified by her a commitment to carrying out long-durational projects that often involved working under challenging conditions. Bold and immediate, many of her paintings and drawings engage with subjects that Ganz refused to regard as being beyond her sphere.

Ganz grew up in Mumbles, a headland situated on the western edge of Swansea Bay (lot 49). Her birthplace, as she put it, overlooks the “dramatic sweep” of the bay, a picturesque scenery in which the “heavy industry” that intrigued her at an early age lay in the distant “background.”

Intent on approaching that “background” by training as an artist—a privileged and often misunderstood position that is not always recognised as socially integrated or integral—Ganz started out by making drawings at Swansea Docks, her “first” if tentative “connection to the coal mining industry.”

As her landscapes of Italy (lot 52) and the South of France (lot 55) suggest, Ganz did not go in search of an alternative aesthetic. What she was after—and got at—was far more elementary and profound: she sought to capture aspects of

18

the human condition in settings and situations that bore little resemblance to the comparatively sheltered life her upbringing afforded.

From 1951 to 1957, Ganz was enrolled at Swansea College of Art, where she studied painting, sculpture and stained glass.

Upon graduating, she stayed on at Swansea School of Art as a tutor until 1973 before working full time as an artist.

Notable Swansea-born artists associated with the College during Ganz’s studies there are painter Alfred Janes (19111999), sculptor Ronald Cour (1914-1978), and stained-glass designer Howard Martin (1907-1972), who also served as head of the College’s Architectural Stained Glass department.

Whatever her medium, Ganz almost invariably “chose coal mining” whenever she was given a choice of subject. Without being documentarian, Ganz tended to observe rather than impose her views or vision. “I am good at becoming invisible,” Ganz commented on her work among the miners.

Not content to look on as a detached outsider, Ganz aimed to become part of the communities with which much of her output was concerned. “The men got used to me being with a crew quietly working alongside them,” Ganz reflected on her work in the coalmines, and they “were most generous in the way they accepted me.”

Ganz preferred her subjects to “get on with their work” instead of posing for hers. But once the miners emerged from the pit, she “would deliberately stand right in their path” in order to “study the effect” of the men “marching” towards her, a view that is exemplified by the dramatic composition Dusk at Tower Colliery (lot 47). Ganz referred to Tower Colliery near Hirwaun in the Cynon Valley as “an amazing community” with a “very special atmosphere.”

Getting access to the coalface “proved very difficult” at first, especially for a female artist. The approach was gradual, and

the trust hard earned. Ganz was initially able only to work above ground at various collieries, where she was given what she realised to be a “‘white gloved’ tour.” As fascinated as she was by the hidden workings of the mines, Ganz was hoping to gain an understanding of the milieu of the individuals at work there. “From the outset,” she insisted, “I had stated that I wanted to make a study of the complete day in a miner’s life.”

Ganz was aware that she was working against time. In 1984, her project was delayed due to the National Strike. “As soon as this ended in 1985,” Ganz stated, she “spent a year at Six Bells Colliery in Abertillery, where the colliery was in the heart of the village.” While the National Coal Board offered her a house “further up the valley,” Ganz felt that to keep work and home strictly “separate” would make it difficult for her “get to know anybody.” She eventually moved directly opposite the pit, and long after Six Bells closed in 1988, she kept in touch with her former neighbours and continued to visit them “all these years later.”

Beginning in 1986, Ganz exhibited the works resulting from her time at Six Bells in a number of group exhibitions. That year, at the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, her paintings were featured in the exhibition Mining in Art alongside works by Jack Crabtree (b. 1938), Nicholas “Nick” Evans (1907-2004; lot 180), and Josef Herman (1911-2000).

What Ganz referred to as her “coal-mining project”—which would entail work at fourteen different collieries—remained her

“most rewarding experience,” as it gave her “real insight” into another world. When the mines closed, Ganz went in search of other tight-knit communities—from circus performers to oil riggers—she would strive to get to know from within.

For her work at Swansea Prison (lot 54), Ganz was granted admittance to all parts of the facility, and, over a period of six months, worked closely with inmates and staff. According to Ganz, her decision to pursue this project derived from a childhood memory. The train she took to school stopped outside the prison. “There was something about those big, blank walls,” she recalled. “I always used to stare at them and wondered what life was like inside.”

We expect artists to show us how they perceive the world.

Practitioners like Ganz, however, tell us what they are eager to understand. Driven by a need fully to immerse themselves in experiences remote from their own, they take us along on a journey of discovery.

Art historians have yet to catch up with Valerie Ganz.

Meanwhile, auction sales figures bear out that her work is increasingly attracting the attention of private collectors in and beyond Wales who are drawn into the worlds Ganz’s empathetic pictures open to us.

“Roeddwn i bob amser … yn meddwl tybed sut beth oedd bywyd y tu mewn” Valerie Ganz, Sylwebydd Angerddol

Mae’r artist o Dde Cymru, Valerie Ganz (1936-2015), bellach yn cael ei chofio fwyaf am ei phortreadau o lowyr yn eu hamgylchedd gwaith, thema y mynegodd “ddiddordeb arbennig” ynddi. Ac eto, fel y mae rhai o’r gweithiau yn yr arwerthiant presennol yn ei ddangos, mae holl gynnyrch Ganz yn llawer mwy amrywiol.

“Dros y blynyddoedd, rydw i wedi astudio gwahanol bynciau,” crynhodd Ganz ei gyrfa nodedig yn 2012, dair blynedd cyn ei marwolaeth. Treuliodd ddeuddeg mis ymhlith myfyrwyr yn Ysgol Ganolog y Bale yn Llundain a bu’n canlyn Syrcas Talaith Moscow wrth iddo deithio o amgylch y DU. Gweithiodd hefyd ar rigiau olew yn Anialwch Patagonia a chreuodd gofnod personol o fywyd y tu mewn i Garchar Abertawe.

Er mor eang oedd ei diddordebau, mae cyfanwaith Ganz wedi’i ddiffinio gan ei natur chwilfrydig ac wedi’i uno gan ei hymrwymiad i gyflawni prosiectau hirhoedlog a oedd yn aml yn cynnwys gweithio o dan amodau heriol. Yn feiddgar ac uniongyrchol, mae llawer o’i phaentiadau a’i lluniau’n ymwneud â phynciau y gwrthododd Ganz eu hystyried y tu hwnt i’w maes.

Magwyd Ganz yn y Mwmbwls, pentir ar ymyl gorllewinol Bae Abertawe (lot 49). Mae ei man geni, fel y dywedodd hi, yn edrych dros “ehangder dramatig” y bae, golygfa brydferth lle’r oedd y “diwydiant trwm” a’i denodd yn ifanc yn gorwedd yn y “cefndir” pell.

Gan fod Ganz wedi bod yn benderfynol o fynd at y “cefndir” hwnnw drwy hyfforddi fel artist—swydd freintiedig sy’n aml yn cael ei chamddeall, ac nad yw bob amser yn cael ei chydnabod fel un sydd wedi’i hintegreiddio’n gymdeithasol nac yn annatod—dechreuodd Ganz drwy wneud darluniau yn Nociau Abertawe, ei chysylltiad “cyntaf”, er yn betrusgar “â diwydiant y pyllau glo”.

Fel mae ei thirweddau o’r Eidal (lot 52) a De Ffrainc (lot 55) yn eu hawgrymu, ni aeth Ganz i chwilio am estheteg amgen.

20

Roedd yr hyn yr oedd hi’n chwilio amdano—ac yn ei gael— yn llawer mwy elfennol a dwfn: ceisiodd ddal agweddau ar y cyflwr dynol mewn lleoliadau a sefyllfaoedd nad oeddent yn debyg iawn i’r bywyd cymharol gysgodol yr oedd ei magwraeth wedi’i gynnig.

O 1951 i 1957, cofrestrwyd Ganz yng Ngholeg Celf Abertawe, lle astudiodd baentio, cerflunio a gwydr lliw. Ar ôl graddio, arhosodd yn Ysgol Gelf Abertawe fel tiwtor tan 1973 cyn gweithio’n llawn amser fel artist.

Artistiaid nodedig a aned yn Abertawe ac a oedd yn gysylltiedig â’r Coleg yn ystod astudiaethau Ganz yno yw’r arlunydd Alfred Janes (1911-1999), y cerflunydd Ronald Cour (1914-1978), a’r dylunydd gwydr lliw, Howard Martin (19071972), a fu’n gweithio hefyd fel pennaeth adran Gwydr Lliw Pensaernïol y Coleg.

Beth bynnag oedd ei chyfrwng, bron yn ddieithriad byddai Ganz yn “dewis y pyllau glo” pryd bynnag y byddai’n cael dewis pwnc. Heb fod yn ddogfennwr, byddai Ganz yn tueddu i arsylwi yn hytrach na gorfodi ei barn na’i gweledigaeth. “Rwy’n dda am ddod yn anweledig,” meddai Ganz ar ei gwaith ymhlith y glöwyr.

Yn anfodlon i edrych ar bethau fel rhywun ar y cyrion, roedd Ganz yn anelu at ddod yn rhan o’r cymunedau yr oedd llawer o’i gweithiau yn ymwneud â nhw. “Daeth y dynion yn gyfarwydd â’m cael o’u cwmpas, yn gweithio’n dawel ochr yn ochr â nhw,” myfyriodd Ganz ar ei gwaith yn y pyllau glo, ac roeddent “yn hael iawn yn y ffordd y gwnaethon nhw fy nerbyn.”

Roedd yn well gan Ganz i’w phynciau “fwrw ymlaen â’u gwaith” yn hytrach na sefyll a ffugio ar ei chyfer hi. Ond unwaith y byddai’r glöwyr yn dod allan o’r pwll, byddai hi’n “sefyll yn fwriadol yn eu llwybr” er mwyn “astudio effaith” y dynion yn “gorymdeithio” tuag ati, golygfa a ddangosir gan y cyfansoddiad dramatig Dusk at Tower Colliery (lot 47).

Valerie Ganz Swansea Bay, dated ‘77 Sold at The Welsh Sale for £1600 (July 2024)

Cyfeiriodd Ganz at Lofa’r Tŵr ger Hirwaun yng Nghwm Cynon fel “cymuned anhygoel” gydag “awyrgylch arbennig iawn”.

Roedd cael mynediad i’r talcenni glo yn “anodd iawn” ar y dechrau, yn enwedig i artist benywaidd. Fe wnaeth hynny’n raddol, ac fe adeiladodd yr ymddiriedaeth dros amser. I ddechrau, dim ond uwchben y ddaear mewn amrywiol byllau glo y gallai Ganz weithio, lle cafodd yr hyn a sylweddolodd oedd yn “daith ‘menyg gwyn’.” Er ei bod wedi’i swyno gan weithrediadau cudd y pyllau glo, roedd Ganz yn gobeithio cael dealltwriaeth o amgylchedd yr unigolion oedd yn gweithio yno. “O’r cychwyn cyntaf,” mynnodd, “roeddwn wedi datgan fy mod eisiau gwneud astudiaeth o ddiwrnod cyfan ym mywyd glöwr.”

Roedd Ganz yn ymwybodol ei bod hi’n gweithio yn erbyn amser. Ym 1984, cafodd ei phrosiect ei ohirio oherwydd y Streic Genedlaethol. “Cyn gynted ag y daeth hyn i ben ym 1985,” meddai Ganz, “treuliodd flwyddyn ym Mhwll Glo’r Six Bells yn Abertyleri, lle’r oedd y lofa yng nghanol y pentref.” Er bod y Bwrdd Glo Cenedlaethol wedi cynnig tŷ iddi “ymhellach i fyny’r dyffryn,” teimlai Ganz y byddai cadw gwaith a chartref “ar wahân” yn ei gwneud hi’n anodd iddi “ddod i adnabod unrhyw un.” Yn y pen draw, symudodd yn uniongyrchol gyferbyn â’r pwll, ac ymhell ar ôl I’r Six Bells gau ym 1988, cadwodd mewn cysylltiad â’i chyn-gymdogion a pharhaodd i ymweld â nhw “yr holl flynyddoedd hyn yn ddiweddarach.”

Gan ddechrau ym 1986, arddangosodd Ganz y gweithiau a ddeilliodd o’i hamser yn Six Bells mewn nifer o arddangosfeydd grŵp. Y flwyddyn honno, yn Oriel Gelf Glynn Vivian, cafodd ei phaentiadau eu cynnwys yn yr arddangosfa Mining in Art ochr yn ochr â gweithiau gan Jack Crabtree (g. 1938), Nicholas “Nick” Evans (1907-2004; lot 180), a Josef Herman (1911-2000).

Yr hyn y cyfeiriodd Ganz ato fel ei “phrosiect cloddio glo”—a fyddai’n golygu gweithio mewn pedwar ar ddeg o byllau glo gwahanol—oedd ei “phrofiad mwyaf gwerth chweil”, gan iddo roi “mewnwelediad gwirioneddol” iddi i fyd arall. Pan gaeodd y pyllau glo, aeth Ganz i chwilio am gymunedau clos eraill agos—o berfformwyr syrcas i rigwyr olew—y byddai’n ymdrechu i ddod i’w hadnabod o’r tu mewn.

Am ei gwaith yng Ngharchar Abertawe (lot 54), cafodd Ganz fynediad i bob rhan o’r safle, a thros gyfnod o chwe mis, bu’n gweithio’n agos gyda charcharorion a staff. Yn ôl Ganz, deilliodd ei phenderfyniad i ddilyn y prosiect hwn o atgof plentyndod. Roedd y trên i’r ysgol yn stopio y tu allan i’r carchar. “Roedd rhywbeth am y waliau mawr, gwag hynny,” cofiodd. “Roeddwn i bob amser yn arfer syllu arnyn nhw ac yn meddwl tybed sut beth oedd bywyd y tu mewn.”

Rydym yn disgwyl i artistiaid ddangos i ni sut maen nhw’n gweld y byd. Fodd bynnag, mae ymarferwyr fel Ganz yn dweud wrthym beth maen nhw’n awyddus i’w ddeall. Wedi’u cyflyrru gan yr angen i ymgolli’n llwyr mewn profiadau sydd ymhell o’u profiadau eu hunain, maen nhw’n mynd â ni ar daith o ddarganfyddiad.

Nid yw haneswyr celf wedi dal i fyny â Valerie Ganz eto. Yn y cyfamser, mae ffigurau gwerthiant arwerthiannau yn dangos bod ei gwaith yn gynyddol ddenu sylw casglwyr preifat yng Nghymru a thu hwnt, sy’n cael eu denu at y byd sy’n cael ei agor i ni gan luniau empathig Ganz.

Ray Howard-Jones Visionary Artist of the Wild Pembrokeshire Coast

ay Howard-Jones (1903-1996), one of Wales’s most enigmatic artists, is particularly renowned for her paintings of south Wales in the Second World War, for deeply spiritual watercolours and gouaches of the wild Pembrokeshire coast and for outstanding mosaics in the Welsh and Scottish capital cities. A remarkable, vivid and unconventional personality, she was a distinctive presence in the Welsh art world.

I knew Ray in her last decade while working for the museum service in Pembrokeshire in the latter half of the 1980s. I used to visit her on the coast at Marloes where she spent several months of the year living in a caravan.

On four occasions I drove her, in her own vehicle, back to her home in London. Much later, some time after

26

Ray had died, I became interested in researching and writing about her life and work. I came to appreciate what an exceptional artist she was. In 2023 Bird Eye Books, an imprint of Graffeg, published my in-depth biography, Ray Howard-Jones: My Hand is the Voice of The Sea. This is illustrated with 250 images, many of them specially photographed.

Ray was born in 1903, christened Rose Mary Howard-Jones, and brought up by her prosperous grandfather and guardians in Penarth. She flourished at the progressive London Garden School and, in the early 1920s, at the Slade School of Fine Art, where her tutors included Henry Tonks and Philip Wilson Steer. Afflicted by nonpulmonary tuberculosis, she endured dangerous operations and a long period of convalescence. Her career

as a professional artist was not revived until 1935, when, for professional reasons, she adopted the name Ray. She worked as an illustrator at the National Museum of Wales in Cardiff in the 1930s where she befriended archaeologists including William F. Grimes who, obligingly, posed for a life study as did his family. During this period, too, she became artistic director of the East Moors Players in a deprived area of Splott.

Ray made a significant contribution to recording the impact of the Second World War in south Wales.

The War Artists’ Advisory Committee acquired many of her paintings, including several of preparations of merchant shipping for D-day, and it commissioned her to record the heavily fortified Bristol Channel islands of Flat Holm and Steep Holm. At Amgueddfa

Cymru are sketchbook drawings of gun emplacements, military activities with boats and personnel on these islands. A significant wartime gouache, Western Approaches, depicting the lighthouse and a gun emplacement on Flat Holm, was presented to the museum by the Contemporary Art Society for Wales. After the war, in need of respite, Ray was awarded a place, in 1946, at the post-graduate art school at Hospitalfield in Arbroath to develop her work with the warden James Cowie.

In the late 1940s Ray settled in London and met Raymond Moore, a mature graduate from the Royal College of Art, with whom she would live for two decades. Theirs was a mutually supportive creative relationship and they mostly lived and worked in a Victorian house in Hammersmith.

During their time together Raymond developed from a painter into a distinguished photographer. Through the 1950s they regularly spent summers on the Pembrokeshire island of Skomer followed, in the 1960s, by seasons on the nearby mainland coast.

At this time Ray had five successful and influential solo exhibitions at the Leicester Galleries in London. She also designed two major mosaics in Cardiff and Edinburgh. The former, An Eye for the People, was a threestorey work on the old Western Mail building, sadly demolished in 2008 just as the Twentieth Century Society was about to list it as one of the finest post-war murals in Britain. The Edinburgh mosaic survives, a striking alterpiece in the parish church of Marchmont St Giles. Ray split with Moore in 1970 and continued to visit Marloes in Pembrokeshire until she was quite elderly. She became increasingly celebrated in Wales with major publicly-funded touring exhibitions.

Key concerns of the artist were impressionistic, romantic and deeply spiritual studies of the Pembrokeshire coast, particularly of Skomer and, notably, around the mainland coast of Marloes. She made large numbers of studies of the ever-changing visual relationship between the structure of rocks, the sea and sky affected by seasons, times of day, tides, light and weather. Many of these were made

in a bay to the south of the Deerpark which could only be reached by a treacherous path down two-hundredfoot cliffs. During the 1960s these works became more abstract and displayed an often dazzling variety of colours, shapes and textures derived from close observation of the coast between the Deerpark, overlooking Skomer, and Marloes Sands. Rockpools were often a source of inspiration.

The majority are graphite drawings, chalks, watercolours and gouaches but there are also oils, mixed-media collages, charcoal and crayon drawings and, particularly later in life, pastels.

Her rocks often have a surreal quality, being anthropomorphised and attributed names such as The Brother.

She also made mumerous sketches of the wildlife including seals, woodmice, rabbits, gannets, shearwaters, hermit crabs, starfish and butterflies.

Ray’s later work is often characterised by a more contrasting and vibrant use of colour and a strong sense of mysticism. Ray had a profound Christian faith and much of her work was driven by a need to bring her closer, through a deeper understanding of the natural world, to God. Her faith was reinforced by exposure to the wildness of the Pembrokeshire coast. A particular rock which she repeatedly drew was a triangular one that she named Te Deum, an abbreviation of Te Deum Laudamus, a Latin hymn in praise of God. She became an oblate of the Benedictines at Nashdom Abbey in Buckinghamshire, painted decorated crosses on bookmarks, sketched churches and produced unexecuted designs for altarpieces.

Ray also covered wider ground with studies of landscapes and historic sites in west Wales as well as on Gower and mid-Wales. London features less frequently, highlighting Ray’s Welsh focus. Her travels abroad include Alderney, Tuscany, Cyprus, the United States and Portugal. She has painted portraits of her friends Professor Mary Williams and the painter-poet David Jones, as well as the Argentine pianist Alberto Portugheis.

When Ray died in 1996, after an intrepid and eventful life of ninety-

three years, she left a considerable legacy of artwork. One of the largest single-artist collections of work at Amgueddfa Cymru is by Ray HowardJones. It comprises her bequest of around 1,800 catalogued works. The actual number of images, however, is probably at least double that due to 95 sketchbooks containing numerous pages. Ray is also well represented in the art collection of the National Library of Wales and in public collections throughout the United kingdom, notably at the Imperial War Museum.

David Moore worked for Pembrokeshire Museums from 1985 until 1992. He then became curator of Brecknock Museum where he built up the art collection and established the art gallery with an extensive programme of exhibitions featuring Welsh artists. Since 2004 he has worked independently writing about modern art, artist groups and public art collections in Wales. Some of this has been published under the Crooked Window imprint, www. crookedwindow.co.uk, the most recent being the 2025 Championing Artists in Wales: 25 Years of the Brecknock Art Trust. Graffeg, however, published in 2020 his Art for Wales: The Legacy of Derek Williams which explores the impact of the Derek Wiliams Trust upon the post-1900 art collection at Amgueddfa Cymru. In 2023 Bird Eye Books published his major biography, Ray Howard-Jones: My Hand is the Voice of the Sea [www.birdeyebooks. com].

Ray Howard-Jones Artist Gweledigaethol Arfordir Gwyllt Sir Benfro gan David Moore

M

ae Ray Howard-Jones (19031996), un o artistiaid mwyaf enigmatig Cymru, yn arbennig o adnabyddus am ei phaentiadau o dde Cymru yn yr Ail Ryfel Byd, am ddyfrlliwiau a gouaches ysbrydol iawn o arfordir gwyllt Sir Benfro ac am fosaigau rhagorol ym mhrifddinasoedd Cymru a’r Alban.

Yn bersonoliaeth nodedig, fywiog ac anghonfensiynol, roedd hi’n bresenoldeb arbennig ym myd celf Cymru.

Roeddwn i’n adnabod Ray yn ei degawd olaf tra roeddwn i’n gweithio i’r gwasanaeth amgueddfeydd yn Sir Benfro yn ail hanner y 1980au.

Roeddwn i’n arfer ymweld â hi ar yr arfordir ym Marloes lle treuliodd hi sawl mis o’r flwyddyn yn byw mewn carafán. Ar bedwar achlysur, fe yrrais hi, yn ei cherbyd ei hun, yn ôl i’w chartref yn Llundain. Yn ddiweddarach, rhywbryd ar ôl i Ray farw, dechreuais ymddiddori mewn ymchwilio ac ysgrifennu am ei bywyd a’i gwaith. Deuthum i werthfawrogi pa mor eithriadol oedd hi fel artist. Yn 2023, cyhoeddodd Bird Eye Books, argraffnod o Graffeg, fy nghofiant manwl, Ray Howard-Jones: My Hand is the Voice of The Sea. Mae hwn wedi’i ddarlunio â 250 o ddelweddau, llawer ohonynt wedi’u ffotograffio’n arbennig.

Ganwyd Ray ym 1903, wedi’i bedyddio yn Rose Mary Howard-Jones, a’i magu gan ei thaid llewyrchus a’i gwarcheidwaid ym Mhenarth. Fe ffynnodd yn Ysgol Ardd flaengar Llundain ac, yn gynnar yn y 1920au, yn Ysgol Gelfyddyd Gain Slade, lle’r oedd Henry Tonks a Philip Wilson Steer ymhlith ei thiwtoriaid. Wedi’i

heffeithio gan Dwbercwlosis heb fod ar yr ysgyfaint, bu’n rhaid iddi gael sawl llawdriniaeth peryglus a chyfnod hir o wella. Ni chafodd ei gyrfa fel artist proffesiynol ei hadfywio tan 1935, pan, am resymau proffesiynol, mabwysiadodd yr enw Ray. Gweithiodd fel darlunydd yn Amgueddfa Genedlaethol Cymru yng Nghaerdydd yn y 1930au lle daeth yn ffrindiau ag archaeolegwyr gan gynnwys William F. Grimes a wnaeth, yn garedig, eistedd iddi ar gyfer astudiaeth bywyd fel y gwnaeth ei deulu. Yn ystod y cyfnod hwn hefyd, daeth yn gyfarwyddwr artistig yr East Moors Players mewn ardal ddifreintiedig o Sblot.

Gwnaeth Ray gyfraniad sylweddol at gofnodi effaith yr Ail Ryfel Byd yn ne Cymru. Cafodd Pwyllgor Ymgynghorol Artistiaid Rhyfel lawer o’i phaentiadau, gan gynnwys nifer o baratoadau y llynges fasnachol ar gyfer D-Day, ac fe gafodd ei chomisiynu ganddynt i gofnodi ynysoedd Môr Hafren, sef Ynys Echni a Ynys Rhonech. Yn Amgueddfa Cymru, mae darluniau bras o lwyfannau gynnau, gweithgareddau milwrol gyda chychod a phersonél ar yr ynysoedd hyn. Cyflwynwyd gouache arwyddocaol o gyfnod y rhyfel, Western Approaches, sy’n darlunio’r goleudy a llwyfan gynnau ar Ynys Echni, i’r amgueddfa gan Gymdeithas Gelf Gyfoes Cymru. Ar ôl y rhyfel, gan fod angen seibiant arni, dyfarnwyd lle i Ray, ym 1946, yn yr ysgol gelf ôlraddedig yn Hospitalfield yn Arbroath i ddatblygu ei gwaith gyda’r warden James Cowie.

Yn niwedd y 1940au, ymsefydlodd Ray yn Llundain a chyfarfu â Raymond Moore, gŵr gradd hŷn o‘r Coleg

Brenhinol Celf, a byddai’n byw gydag ef am ddau ddegawd. Roedd eu perthynas greadigol yn gefnogol i’w gilydd ac roeddent yn byw ac yn gweithio’n bennaf mewn tŷ Fictoraidd yn Hammersmith. Yn ystod eu hamser gyda’i gilydd, datblygodd Raymond o fod yn beintiwr i fod yn ffotograffydd nodedig. Drwy gydol y 1950au, buont yn treulio’u hafau yn rheolaidd ar ynys Sgomer yn Sir Benfro, ac yna, yn y 1960au, tymhorau ar arfordir y tir mawr cyfagos. Ar y pryd, roedd Ray wedi cael pum arddangosfa unigol lwyddiannus a dylanwadol yn Orielau Leicester yn Llundain. Bu hefyd yn dylunio dau fosaig fawr yng Nghaerdydd a Chaeredin. Roedd y cyntaf, An Eye for the People, yn waith tair llawr ar hen adeilad y Western Mail, a ddymchwelwyd yn anffodus yn 2008, wrth i Gymdeithas yr Ugeinfed Ganrif fod ar fin ei restru fel un o’r murluniau gorau ar ôl y rhyfel ym Mhrydain. Mae mosaig Caeredin wedi goroesi, darn allor trawiadol yn eglwys blwyf Marchmont St Giles. Gwahanodd Ray â Moore ym 1970 a pharhaodd i ymweld â Marloes yn Sir Benfro nes iddi fod yn eithaf oedrannus. Daeth hi’n fwyfwy enwog yng Nghymru gydag arddangosfeydd teithiol mawr a ariannwyd yn gyhoeddus.

Prif themau yr artist oedd astudiaethau argraffiadol, rhamantus ac ysbrydol iawn o arfordir Sir Benfro, yn enwedig Sgomer ac, yn arbennig, o amgylch arfordir tir mawr Marloes. Gwnaeth nifer fawr o astudiaethau o’r berthynas weledol, gyfnewidiol rhwng strwythur creigiau, y môr a’r awyr a effeithir gan y tymhorau, amseroedd y dydd, llanw, golau a thywydd. Gwnaed llawer o’r rhain mewn bae i’r de o Barc Ceirw

ger Martin’s Haven, na ellid ond ei gyrraedd trwy lwybr peryglus i lawr clogwyni dau gan troedfedd. Yn ystod y 1960au, daeth y gweithiau hyn yn fwy haniaethol a ddechrau arddangos amrywiaeth ddisglair o liwiau, siapiau a gweadau yn aml yn deillio o arsylwi manwl ar yr arfordir rhwng Parc Ceirw, sy’n edrych dros Sgomer, a Thraeth Marloes. Roedd pyllau creigiau yn aml yn ffynhonnell ysbrydoliaeth. Darluniau o graffit, sialc, dyfrlliwiau a gouaches yw’r mwyafrif ond mae yna hefyd olewau, collages cyfryngau cymysg, darluniau siarcol a chreonau ac, yn enwedig yn ddiweddarach mewn bywyd, pasteli. Yn aml mae gan ei chreigiau ansawdd swreal, gan eu bod wedi’u dynweddu a’u priodoli i enwau fel Y Brawd. Gwnaeth hefyd frasluniau niferus o’r bywyd gwyllt gan gynnwys morloi, llygod coed, cwningod, mulfrain, palod, crancod meudwy, sêr môr a gloÿnnod byw.

Mae gwaith diweddarach Ray yn aml yn cael ei nodweddu gan ddefnydd mwy cyferbyniol a bywiog o liw a synnwyr cryf o gyfriniaeth. Roedd gan Ray ffydd Gristnogol ddofn ac roedd llawer o’i gwaith wedi’i gyflyrru gan yr angen i’w dwyn yn agosach, trwy ddealltwriaeth ddyfnach o’r byd naturiol, at Dduw. Atgyfnerthwyd ei ffydd trwy ddod i gysylltiad â gwylltineb arfordir Sir Benfro. Craig

benodol yr oedd hi’n ei llunio dro ar ôl tro oedd un drionglog a enwodd yn Te Deum, talfyriad o Te Deum Laudamus, emyn Lladin i glodfori Duw. Daeth yn oblad i’r Benedictiaid yn Abaty Nashdom yn Swydd Buckingham, peintiodd groesau addurnedig ar nodau tudalen, brasluniodd eglwysi a chynhyrchodd ddyluniadau heb eu gweithredu ar gyfer allorau.

Aeth Ray ati ymhellach hefyd i astudio tirweddau a safleoedd hanesyddol yng ngorllewin Cymru yn ogystal ag ar Benrhyn Gŵyr a chanolbarth Cymru.

Mae Llundain yn ymddangos yn llai aml, gan amlygu ffocws Cymreig Ray. Mae ei theithiau tramor yn cynnwys Alderney, Twsgani, Cyprus, yr Unol Daleithiau a Phortiwgal. Mae hi wedi peintio portreadau o’i ffrindiau, yr Athro Mary Williams a’r arlunydd-fardd David Jones, yn ogystal â’r pianydd o’r Ariannin, Alberto Portugheis.

Pan fu farw Ray ym 1996, ar ôl bywyd dewr a chyffrous o naw deg tri o flynyddoedd, gadawodd waddol sylweddol o gelf. Un o’r casgliadau gwaith mwyaf gan un artist yn Amgueddfa Cymru yw un Ray HowardJones. Mae’n cynnwys ei gwaddol o tua 1,800 o weithiau wedi’u catalogio.

Fodd bynnag, mae’n debyg bod nifer gwirioneddol y delweddau o

leiaf ddwywaith hynny yn sgil 95 o lyfrau braslunio sy’n cynnwys nifer o dudalennau. Mae Ray hefyd wedi’i chynrychioli’n dda yng nghasgliad celf Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru ac mewn casgliadau cyhoeddus ledled y Deyrnas Unedig, yn enwedig yn Amgueddfa Ryfel Ymerodrol Llundain.

Gweithiodd David Moore i Amgueddfeydd Sir Benfro o 1985 hyd 1992. Yna daeth yn guradur Amgueddfa Brycheiniog lle adeiladodd y casgliad celf a sefydlu’r oriel gelf gyda rhaglen helaeth o arddangosfeydd yn cynnwys artistiaid o Gymru. Ers 2004, mae wedi gweithio’n annibynnol yn ysgrifennu am gelf fodern, grwpiau artistiaid a chasgliadau celf cyhoeddus yng Nghymru. Mae rhywfaint o hyn wedi’i gyhoeddi o dan argraffnod Crooked Window, (www.crookedwindow. co.uk), a’r mwyaf diweddar, o 2025, yw Championing Artists in Wales: 25 Years of the Brecknock Art Trust. Fodd bynnag, cyhoeddodd Graffeg yn 2020 ei lyfr Art for Wales: The Legacy of Derek Williams sy’n archwilio effaith Ymddiriedolaeth Derek Williams ar y casgliad celf ar ôl 1900 yn Amgueddfa Cymru. Yn 2023, cyhoeddodd Bird Eye Books ei brif gofiant, Ray HowardJones: My Hand is the Voice of the Sea [www.birdeyebooks.com].

139 ‡ SIR KYFFIN WILLIAMS RA oil on canvas - head and shoulders portrait of ‘John Williams, Caeau Gwynion’, signed with initials, 63 x 76cms Provenance: private collection, by descent, illustrated P.105 ‘Portraits’ (Gomer 1996) Caeau Gwynion is a long low cottage in the parish of Llansadwrn which, with an extension at one end, could also be described as a farmhouse. I visited it often to talk to John Williams who lived there and farmed the land. He was a short and wiry little man with an untidy moustache, an unshaven face and a habit of spitting ferociously when making what he considered to be an important statement.

‘John Williams’, I enquired, ‘why is it that you are eighty-six and you haven’t got a grey hair in your head?’ He looked at me and spat.

‘I’ll tell you why.’ He spat again. ‘I’ll tell you for why, because my father and mother were very young when they got married.’ It was a strange reply but John Williams was a man without doubts on that particular matter. He always wore the same untidy coat and trousers and a stud held together the top of his shirt that was never improved by the addition of a collar and tie. He once described to me in biblical terms the happy marriage of two local people. ‘And the blood was full in the woman and the money was full in the man, so they make champion together.’ I often sat at the table near the fireplace in his dark and untidy living-room while he talked of the day he went to Liverpool and of the brief time he spent in England during the First World War. He always appeared to have lost his false teeth for it was difficult at times to understand what he was saying; but his English was better than my Welsh so I used to resign myself to understanding only part of what he related. When he died he left his farm to the parishes of Llansadwrn, Llandrygarn and Coedana.

It was bought eventually by a neighbouring farmer who needed the land but not the house. This was bought by a friend who has retained it as one of the few cottage-farmhouses left on the island. (extract from Kyffin Williams ‘Portraits’) £20,000-30,000
