Here's a gem of a volume, one which combines the autobiography of an artist with many of his most iconic paintings. By appreciating the words and pictures, we come to understand how Aneurin Jones became one of the most prominent portrayers of the Welsh rural vista. We learn about his upbringing in Cwm Wysg, his high-spirited college days, and his artistically fruitful times living in Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion where he rediscovered the close-knit communities and unique characters of his youth. Full of amazing anecdotes and portraits of memorable characters (and animals, too), this treasure of a book not only depicts a way of life which is rapidly disappearing, but also celebrates the work of one of Wales' greatest artists.
