Ceri Richards Biography

(b Dunvant, nr Swansea, 6 June 1903; d London, 9 Nov 1971). Welsh painter, printmaker and stage designer. He studied at Swansea School of Art from 1921 to 1924 and at the Royal College of Art from 1924 to 1927. During this period in London he also attended evening classes in life drawing at Westminster School of Art under Bernard Meninsky (1891–1950). Having drawn images on sculptural themes from c . 1931, Richards exhibited a free-standing Object (see 1981 exh. cat., p. 23) with the Surrealist group at the London Gallery in 1936. After election to the London Group (1937), he began exhibiting relief-constructions, for example Two Females (1937–8; London, Tate). These works are indebted to Picasso’s Cubist collages and constructions, Hans Arp’s wood-reliefs and Max Ernst’s Surrealist imagery.
