[:en]A collection of lithographs by the acclaimed Welsh artist Ceri Richards, inspired by the poems of Dylan Thomas, have gone on permanent display at Swansea University’s Great Hall.
Born in Dunvant in 1903, Ceri Richards is regarded as one of the most important British artists of the 20th century and was the most successful Welsh artist of the period. From the early 1930s, he explored surrealism and used recurring themes of light and darkness as metaphors for the human condition.[:cy]Mae casgliad o lithograffau gan yr artist uchel ei fri o Gymru Ceri Richards, a ysbrydolwyd gan gerddi Dylan Thomas, yn cael eu harddangos yn barhaol yn Neuadd Fawr Prifysgol Abertawe.
Ystyrir bod Ceri Richards, a anwyd yn Nynfant ym 1903, yn un o artistiaid Prydeinig pwysicaf yr 20fed ganrif ac ef oedd artist Cymreig mwyaf llwyddiannus y cyfnod.
