Glyn Morgan (1926-2015)

Self Portrait of the Artist


This superb British Post Impressionist sixties self-portrait oil painting is by artist Glyn Morgan. Morgan was a noted Welsh artist, initially taught by Ceri Richards in Cardiff and later a Benton End student where he was greatly influenced by Cedric Morris who proved to be his main source of inspiration throughout his artistic career. Painted circa 1960 it is a generous and colourful head and shoulders bearded portrait of the artist in his early thirties. He is wearing a polo neck jumper. His portraits often have restrained backgrounds but this one is a riot of colour. The bold, confident brushwork is absolutely fantastic. This is a fine example of Morgan's work and a superb Post Impressionist 1960 self-portrait oil painting.

William and Gwen had two children, Robin and Carlotta (Carlotta Edwina Gray Hadley).This superb three quarter length seated portrait of Gwen was painted in 1930 the year she married, aged twenty seven. It was also exhibited at the Royal Academy London that year. Gwen is dressed in a beautiful 1930's silver sleeveless dress with pale pink lace at the neck and hem lines and red scarf across her lap. She is wearing a waist long strand of pearls and silver earrings and her dark hair is short and curled. She is sat on a red cushion, arms straight either side of her, as if about to stand and there are deep red curtains behind her. Her blue eyes are gazing rather enigmatically to her right. Somerville has perfectly captured her beauty and innocence. The details of her face and dress are just superb. This is a lovely Scottish Art Deco portrait oil painting of a beautiful young woman in her prime, newly married and the painting has exhibition provenance.
