Sir John Kyffin Williams, OBE, RA was a Welsh landscape painter who lived at Pwllfanogl, Llanfairpwll, on the Island of Anglesey. Williams is widely regarded as the defining artist of Wales during the 20th century. Williams was best known for his depictions of the Welsh countryside, shepherds and their sheepdogs, livestock, and small villages. Williams’ paintings are primarily made with impasto palette knife marks and few brushstrokes, employing a limited palette consisting of gray and subtle greens that emanate the color found in the rocks and foliage of Wales.
Williams studied at Shrewsbury School before continuing on to the Slade School of Fine Art in London, also spending time painting in the Welsh settlement of Y Wladfa in Patagonia, Argentina in 1968, thanks to the Winston Churchill Fellowship.
