The Artist In Wales
By David Bell
Published by George G Harrap & Co Ltd: London 1957 1st Edition

" David Bell's The Artist in Wales (George G. Harrap & Co. Ltd, London, 1957) offers an incisive exploration of Welsh art, its traditions, and its evolving identity in the context of national culture. Bell examines the historical and social influences that shaped artistic expression in Wales—from medieval craftsmanship and religious art to the modern search for a distinctly Welsh voice in painting and sculpture. His writing reflects both scholarly depth and personal conviction, informed by his own role as a critic, painter, and advocate for the arts in postwar Britain.

Throughout the book, Bell argues for a revival of cultural confidence and creative individuality within Wales, positioning art as central to the nation's self-definition. His analysis combines aesthetic appreciation with social commentary, making this volume not only a history but also a manifesto for artistic independence. The Artist in Wales will appeal to collectors of British art criticism, students of Welsh cultural history, and readers interested in the interplay between regional identity and creative expression."
