Sir Kyffin Williams

Great Lives

Available for over a year

Matthew Parris presents the biographical series in which his guests choose someone who has inspired their lives. Rolf Harris discusses the life of the Welsh painter Sir Kyffin Williams. Famous for his paintings inspired by the north Wales landscape, Williams never chose to be a painter; he was told by a doctor to take up art for his health when he was diagnosed with epilepsy. Prof Derec Llwyd Morgan joins the discussion.
