Until 30th Aug • Oriel King Street Gallery
John Cyrlas Williams (1902- 1965) was once tipped as one of Wales’ most promising young painters. The son of a collier, he was born into a Welsh mining community in the United States. His father went on to become a mine owner, and the family set up home in Porthcawl. Williams painted his first pictures in 1918 and trained initially at the Newlyn School under Stanhope Forbes. Later he pursued his training in Paris. However, all
Williams’ pictures were painted before he reached the age of 30. Subsequently, alcoholism and other personal problems curtailed the career of the painter whose work was described by Winifred Coombe Tennant – his patron in the 1920s – quite simply as “the real thing”. Eventually he abandoned painting, spending the rest of his working life as a clerk. The art historian Peter Lord, who curates this exhibition with Peter Rossiter, first learnt about Williams while researching his biography of famous patron of the arts Winifred Coombe-Tennant. Then, in April 2009, the Welsh painter Mike Jones told him he had found 150 paintings by Williams at a saleroom in Clydach following their discovery in a Porthcawl attic. Lord and Jones worked to keep as much of the work together as possible, purchasing a total of 60 paintings between them.
