John Elwyn (1916-1997)

Sir Kyffin Williams comments that Elwyn's work was of such 'merit that it will take its place permanently in the artistic history of Wales ... His natural creative curiosity led him into the world of the abstract in which his personal sense of colour was allowed to burst onto his canvases; but John's heart was in Ceredigion and his painting of it was to become one of the foundation stones in the development of Welsh art after the Second World War.'
