Art for Wales

Concise, insightful chapters by writer and curator David Moore examine the quality and variety of artworks assembled by Derek Williams or supported by the activity of the Trust over a period of over 25 years, ranging from painting to ceramics, photography and digital media. Illustrated with a wealth of artworks from the Trust s collection and related exhibitions.

Martin Parr in Wales
Martin Parr's work is famous for its humour and his quirky vision of British life. The book reflects Parr's unique vision, humour and style as he looks at aspects of life and popular culture in Wales, from his famous love of beaches and beach holidays - in sun or rain - to coal mining and the Royal Welsh Agricultural Show.
Welsh Slate
Slates from quarries in Wales once went to roof the world. By the late nineteenth century as many as a third of all the roofing slates produced worldwide came from Wales, competing with quarries in France and the United States. This book traces the industry from its origins in the Roman period, its slow medieval development and then its massive expansion in the nineteenth century – as well as through its long drawn-out decline in the twentieth.
